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

mysql>
mysql> create table topic(
    ->    topicid     smallint not null auto_increment primary key,
    ->    name        varchar(50) not null,
    ->    instock     smallint unsigned not null,
    ->    onorder     smallint unsigned not null,
    ->    reserved    smallint unsigned not null,
    ->    department enum('classical', 'popular') not null,
    ->    category    varchar(20) not null,
    ->    rowupdate   timestamp not null
    -> );

null: null不等空
null意味着“没有值”或www.3ppt.com“未知值”，且它被看作与众不同的值。为了测试null，你不能使用算术比较操作符例如=、mysql>
mysql> select name, department, category
    -> from topic
    -> where categorynull
    -> order by name;
empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql>
mysql> drop table topic;
query ok, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

is not null

mysql>
mysql> drop table topic;
query ok, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
