if I have a date field that contains a NULL
will it show up when I ask for a where date range for the same date field.

Where mydate>= "2011/04/01"::date and mydate<= "2011/04/30"::date

With the above where will the NULL's be selected????

I ask because I was always told that a NULL matches everything and nothing!


I think the answer is no.

when mydate is null, record will not be returned.

e.g.,
select 'abc' where (null::date >='2011-01-01'::date) ;

0 rows returned.
