mysql数据库中is null语句的用法
注意在mysql中,0或 null意味着假而其它值意味着真。布尔运算的默认真值是1。
对null的特殊处理即是在前面的章节中,为了决定哪个动物不再是活着的,使用death is not null而不使用death != null的原因。
在group by中,两个null值视为相同。
执行order by时,如果运行 order by ... asc,则null值出现在最前面,若运行order by ... desc,则null值出现在最后面。
null操作的常见错误是不能在定义为not null的列内插入0或空字符串,但事实并非如此。在null表示"没有数值"的地方有数值
。使用is [not] null则可以很容易地进行测试
is null or = null
