Dear Chris and Björn,

this although most record have NULL as end_date.

Cheers,

Michael

Hello group,

I’ve added a WFS-layer to a project try to define filters on
different attributes. It seems not to be possible to filter for NULL
values.

Example:

* 1932 records in total
* 376 records with a value in a date attribute
* 20 records with 2005-12-31 as value

If I set the filter to "end_date" = '2005-12-31' the result is 20
records.

If I set the filter to "end_date" != '2005-12-31' the result is 356
records. So only records that have an end date are recognized.
Record with NULL as end date are ignored.

Filtering in the attribute table with “is_empty_or_null” works
but only for selection.

Is this “normal” behaviour with WFS layers or is there a way to
define a filter string that work for all records?

Have you tried

end_date IS NULL

Generally speaking (I'm not sure about this specific case) null is
neither equal nor unequal hence the need for a different logical
operator, IS.

Can you combine conditions for example

end_date IS NULL or end_date = '2005-12-31'
