When I do the following query in mySQL only 1 record is retrieved. SELECT * FROM `paypal_payment_info` WHERE `os1` NOT LIKE 'commission_paid' I am surprised by this. This one record has no characters in it, but the âINSERT INTOâ that created it used: ( `os1` ) VALUES ( ââ ) instead of: ( `os1` ) VALUES ( NULL ) . There are a number of records where `os1` is NULL. I would like these rows to retrieve as well. How do I make a WHERE clause for a cell that is NULL ? Ron The Verse of the Day âEncouragement from Godâs Wordâ http://www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info
