-------------------------------------
[~jark] ,Hello,when i debug,i found that when IS_NULL in OR operate ,if OR
change to SEARCH('',null) there was a major mistake,because SEARCH has three
return values (true,false,null),but OR Operate only can return (true,false),so
wo can't change (IS_NULL OR ...) to SEARCH('',null);

> when i use "IF(col IS NULL, 'a', 'b'), WHEN col = NULL return a ", it is ok.
> when i use "IF(col = '' OR col IS NULL, 'a', 'b'),WHEN col = ''return a", it
> is ok.
> when i use "IF(col = '' OR col IS NULL, 'a', 'b'),WHEN col = NULL return b"
> ,that's amazing.
