Query to display custom Text when columns having null values in SQL, MYsql

Here i am going to show how to display custom Text when there are NULL columns in SQL and MySql as follows...

I had a table name as Childs with the following values. and the query to show values is select Query

select * from Child





Childid
Childname
Adultid
1
ramu      
3
2
venki     
3
3
shyam     
4
4
somu      
5
5
kiran     
8
6
phani     
7
7
kavya     
1
8
vanju     
1
9
keerthi   
6
10
malathi   
null
11
venu      
null
12
kishore   
6

So now I want to display these null values as 0 / any text as we like.
In my case 0 for whom parents are not there.  
To do so the Query is as follows

select childid,childname,ISNULL(adultid,'0') as adultid from Child

And the Results are :-

Childid
Childname
Adultid
1
ramu      
3
2
venki     
3
3
shyam     
4
4
somu      
5
5
kiran     
8
6
phani     
7

kavya     
1

vanju

keerthi   
6
10
malathi   
0
11
venu      
0
12
kishore
