mysql數據庫中is null語句的用法
注意在mysql中，0或 null意味著假而其它值意味著真。布爾運算的默認真值是1。
對null的特殊處理即是在前面的章節中，為了決定哪個動物不再是活著的，使用death is not null而不使用death != null的原因。
在group by中，兩個null值視為相同。
執行order by時，如果運行 order by ... asc，則null值出現在最前面，若運行order by ... desc，則null值出現在最後面。
null操作的常見錯誤是不能在定義為not null的列內插入0或空字符串，但事實並非如此。在null表示"沒有數值"的地方有數值
。使用is [not] null則可以很容易地進行測試
is null or = null
