比较运算符中使用NULL
mysql> select 1>NULL;
+--------+
| 1>NULL |
+--------+
| NULL |
+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1<NULL;
+--------+
| 1<NULL |
+--------+
| NULL |
+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1<>NULL;
+---------+
| 1<>NULL |
+---------+
| NULL |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1>NULL;
+--------+
| 1>NULL |
+--------+
| NULL |
+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1<NULL;
+--------+
| 1<NULL |

+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1>=NULL;
+---------+
| 1>=NULL |
+---------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select NULL=NULL,NULL!=NULL;
+-----------+------------+
| NULL=NULL | NULL!=NULL |
+-----------+------------+
| NULL | NULL |
+-----------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1 in (null),1 not in (null),null in (null),null not in (null);
+-------------+-----------------+----------------+--------------------+
| 1 in (null) | 1 not in (null) | null in (null) | null not in (null) |
+-------------+-----------------+----------------+--------------------+
| NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+-------------+-----------------+----------------+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1=any(select null),null=any(select null);
+--------------------+-----------------------+
| 1=any(select null) | null=any(select null) |
+--------------------+-----------------------+
| NULL | NULL |
+--------------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1=all(select null),null=all(select null);
+--------------------+-----------------------+
| 1=all(select null) | null=all(select null) |
+--------------------+-----------------------+
| NULL | NULL |
+--------------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
结论：任何值和NULL使用运算符（>、<、>=、<=、!=、<>）或者（in、not in、any/some、all）比较时，返回值都为NULL，NULL作为布尔值的时候，不为1也不为0。
准备数据
mysql> create table test1(a int,b int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> insert into test1 values (1,1),(1,null),(null,null);
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> select * from test1;
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | NULL |
| NULL | NULL |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
上面3条数据，认真看一下，特别是注意上面NULL的记录。
IN、NOT IN和NULL比较
IN和NULL比较
mysql> select * from test1;
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | NULL |
| NULL | NULL |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 where a in (null);
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 where a in (null,1);
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | NULL |
+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
结论：当IN和NULL比较时，无法查询出为NULL的记录。
NOT IN 和NULL比较
mysql> select * from test1 where a not in (1);
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 where a not in (null);
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 where a not in (null,2);
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 where a not in (2);
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | NULL |
+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
结论：当NOT IN 后面有NULL值时，不论什么情况下，整个sql的查询结果都为空。
EXISTS、NOT EXISTS和NULL比较
mysql> select * from test2;
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | NULL |
| NULL | NULL |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 t1 where exists (select * from test2 t2 where t1.a = t2.a);
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | NULL |
+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test1 t1 where not exists (select * from test2 t2 where t1.a = t2.a);
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| NULL | NULL |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
上面我们复制了表test1创建了表test2。
查询语句中使用exists、not exists对比test1.a=test2.a，因为=不能比较NULL，结果和预期一致。
判断NULL只能用IS NULL、IS NOT NULL
mysql> select 1 is not null;
+---------------+
| 1 is not null |
+---------------+
| 1 |
+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select 1 is null;
+-----------+
| 1 is null |
+-----------+
| 0 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select null is null;
+--------------+
| null is null |
+--------------+
| 1 |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select null is not null;
+------------------+
| null is not null |
+------------------+
| 0 |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
看上面的效果，返回的结果为1或者0。
结论：判断是否为空只能用IS NULL、IS NOT NULL。
聚合函数中NULL的坑
示例
mysql> select count(a),count(b),count(*) from test1;
+----------+----------+----------+
| count(a) | count(b) | count(*) |
+----------+----------+----------+
| 2 | 1 | 3 |
+----------+----------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
count(a)返回了2行记录，a字段为NULL的没有统计出来。
count(b)返回了1行记录，为NULL的2行记录没有统计出来。
count(*)可以统计所有数据，不论字段的数据是否为NULL。
再继续看
mysql> select * from test1 where a is null;
+------+------+
| a | b |
+------+------+
| NULL | NULL |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select count(a) from test1 where a is null;
+----------+
| count(a) |
+----------+
| 0 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
上面第1个sql使用is null查询出了结果，第2个sql中count(a)返回的是0行。
结论：count(字段)无法统计字段为NULL的值，count(*)可以统计值为null的行。
NULL不能作为主键的值
mysql> create table test3(a int primary key,b int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> insert into test3 values (null,1);
ERROR 1048 (23000): Column 'a' cannot be null
上面我们创建了一个表test3，字段a未指定不能为空，插入了一条NULL的数据，报错原因：a 字段的值不能为NULL，我们看一下表的创建语句：
mysql> show create table test3;
+-------+------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+-------+------------+
| test3 | CREATE TABLE `test3` (
`a` int(11) NOT NULL,
`b` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`a`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
+-------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
从上面的脚本可以看出，当字段为主键的时候，字段会自动设置为not null。
结论：当字段为主键的时候，字段会自动设置为not null。
看了上面这些还是比较晕，NULL的情况确实比较难以处理，容易出错，最有效的方法就是避免使用NULL。所以，强烈建议创建字段的时候字段不允许为NULL，设置一个默认值。
总结
-
NULL作为布尔值的时候，不为1也不为0
-
任何值和NULL使用运算符（>、<、>=、<=、!=、<>）或者（in、not in、any/some、all），返回值都为NULL
-
当IN和NULL比较时，无法查询出为NULL的记录
-
当NOT IN 后面有NULL值时，不论什么情况下，整个sql的查询结果都为空
-
判断是否为空只能用IS NULL、IS NOT NULL
-
count(字段)无法统计字段为NULL的值，count(*)可以统计值为null的行
-
当字段为主键的时候，字段会自动设置为not null
-
NULL导致的坑让人防不胜防，强烈建议创建字段的时候字段不允许为NULL，给个默认值
