Re: IS NULL returns Empty set, but I have empty items

[Andy Wallace]

blank is not null... I'll bet if you did

SELECT url FROM product WHERE url = '';

you'll get a row or three. If the field was NULL, your product_id
select would look like:

  +------+
  | url  |
  +------+
  |NULL  |
  +------+

There are two ways to build software:
Make it so simple that there are obviously no bugs,
or make it so complex that there are no obvious bugs.
