Um. How is this possible? Am I doing something very, very stupid, here?
mydb=# select * from time_recs where id_time_rec not in (select id_time_rec
from punch_time_recs);
id_time_rec | id_user | record_date | id_code_task | id_code_pay_type |
id_project | time_amount | comment | commit_state |

Table public.punch_time_recs

Wow. This just boggles my mind, but there it is. Here's Oracle:

no rows selected

Adding in where id_time_rec is not null does solve the problem. SQL server
appears to be the only one that natively says yeah, he doesn't care about
those.
I'd argue, now that I'm understanding it, that the query is doing what I
asked. Just not what I wanted. :)

Sybase ASE defaults to the same behavior as Microsoft SQL Server, but
they have a configuration option to yield standards compliant behavior
in this regard (SET ANSINULL ON).

No, it's a NULL vs NOT IN issue. Specifically, if the subquery yields
any NULLs and the comparison operator is strict (which nearly all are)
then it's impossible to get a TRUE result from the NOT IN
