title: Need help selecting non-empty column values from MySQL
body: <p>I have a MySQL table which has about 30 columns. One column has empty values for the majority of the table. How can I use a MySQL command to filter out the items which do have values in the table?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my attempt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE column IS NOT NULL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This does not filter because I have empty cells rather that having <code>NULL</code> in the void cell.</p>
