I have a problem similar to this question but with an added complication:
MySql, combining date and time column into a time stamp

I have two columns one for date and one for time and I need to combine them as a timestamp for comparison. Setting a time is optional in our application and in some cases it’s null. If I use CONCAT it only works for the instances where the time is set.

Is the best way to do this, have two queries with a UNION?

Thank you!

    Use a COALESCE to choose a default time value when yours is NULL.

    CONCAT(datefield, ' ', COALESCE(timefield, '00:00:00')) AS date
