Select SQL IS NULL / NOT NULL

SQL IS NULL

How do we select only the records with NULL values in the "Address" column?

We will have to use the IS NULL operator:

SELECT LastName,FirstName,Address FROM Persons
WHERE Address IS NULL

The result-set will look like this:

LastName FirstName Address
Hansen Ola
Pettersen Kari

Note Tip: Always use IS NULL to look for NULL values.


SQL IS NOT NULL

How do we select only the records with no NULL values in the "Address" column?

We will have to use the IS NOT NULL operator:

SELECT LastName,FirstName,Address FROM Persons
WHERE Address IS NOT NULL

The result-set will look like this:

LastName FirstName Address
