Re: IS NULL seems to return false, even when parameter is NULL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a strange problem with the following condition in a SELECT:
AND (("TableData" = "inDate") OR ("inDate" IS NULL))

it works perfectly when the input date in the function (inDate) matchs
a date in the table, but it does not work when the parameter inDate is
NULL.
I recall the function with pgadmin writing NULL as paramater.
It seems that ("inDate" IS NULL) never returns true, even when the
parameter is null...
What's wrong?

Order is wrong, change it to
AND (("inDate" IS NULL) OR ("TableData" = "inDate") )

PostgreSQL OR is not commutative if left operand evaluates to NULL.

Andrus.
