對null的特殊處理即是在前面的章節(jié)中，為了決定哪個動物不再是活著的，使用death is not null而不使用death != null的原因

mysql數(shù)據(jù)庫中is null語句的用法

注意在mysql中，0或 null意味著假而其它值意味著真。布爾運(yùn)算的默認(rèn)真值是1。

對null的特殊處理即是在前面的章節(jié)中，為了決定哪個動物不再是活著的，使用death is not null而不使用death != null的原因。

在group by中，兩個null值視為相同。

執(zhí)行order by時，如果運(yùn)行 order by ... asc，則null值出現(xiàn)在最前面，若運(yùn)行order by ... desc，則null值出現(xiàn)在最后面。

null操作的常見錯誤是不能在定義為not null的列內(nèi)插入0或空字符串，但事實(shí)并非如此。在null表示"沒有數(shù)值"的地方有數(shù)值

。使用is [not] null則可以很容易地進(jìn)行測試

is null or = null

<=>null: null不等空
null意味著“沒有值”或www.3ppt.com“未知值”，且它被看作與眾不同的值。為了測試null，你不能使用算術(shù)比較操作符例如=、<或!=
