Inserting values (1, 'Homer')
Inserting values (2, NULL)
Inserting values (3, 'Marge')
Inserting values (4, NULL)
(Driver bug: statement handle should not be Active after an INSERT.)
=> Testing clause style 0: WHERE mycol = ?...
Selecting row with Marge
Selecting rows with NULL
=> WHERE clause style 0 returned incorrect results.
Non-NULL test rows returned these row ids: 3
The NULL test rows returned these row ids:

Selecting rows with NULL

Selecting row with Marge
Selecting rows with NULL
=> WHERE clause style 6 returned incorrect results.
Non-NULL test rows returned these row ids: 3
The NULL test rows returned these row ids:
