ON(null) never matched.

NULL is neither true nor false.

ON somefieldinthejoin IS NULL would be a valid syntax. except, that's NOT a join condition, a join condition would be ON left_table.something = right_table.something

ON (1=1)

equivalent to ON TRUE

but that will cross join everything, so if the left table has N rows and the right table has M rows, you'll end up with N*M rows in the result. is that really what you want ??
