The null predicate is used to test if a column contains a NULL value.
Syntax
<null predicate> ::= <column reference> IS ( NOT )? NULL.
The <null predicate> "colref IS NOT NULL" is equivalent to the <boolean factor> "NOT colref IS NULL".
The result of the <null predicate> "colref IS NULL" is true if the value of the <column reference> colref is the NULL value, otherwise the result of the <null predicate> is false.
Example
SELECT * FROM a WHERE c IS NOT NULL
The IS NULL Predicate . This query yields all rows from table a where the column a.c is not the NULL value.
