I would expect it, given:
n=> select null=null, null<>null, not (null=null);
?column? | ?column? | ?column?
----------+----------+----------
| |
(1 row)
Those are nulls, BTW:
n=> select (null=null) is null, (null<>null) is null, (not (null=null)) is null;
?column? | ?column? | ?column?
----------+----------+----------
t | t | t
(1 row)
I.e., the same happens with a nullable unique column, you can have one
of each not null values and as many nulls as you want.
SQL null is a strange beast.
