oracle 中的null与''

Posted 2020-09-07 Alex Zeng

1.先看看Null与‘‘在oracle中的表现

C:\Users\zen>sqlplus hr/hr

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Fri Mar 31 10:30:32 2017

Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle.  All rights reserved.


Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

SQL> create table test_null(id_ number,name_ varchar2(10));

Table created.

SQL> insert into test_null values(1,‘oracle‘);

1 row created.

SQL> insert into test_null values(2,‘‘);

1 row created.

SQL> insert into test_null values(3,null);

1 row created.

SQL> select * from test_null;

       ID_ NAME_
---------- ----------
         1 oracle
         2
         3

SQL> select nvl(name_,‘It is null‘) nvl_null,nvl(‘‘,‘It is empty string‘) emptystr from test_null;

NVL_NULL   EMPTYSTR
---------- ------------------
oracle     It is empty string
It is null It is empty string
It is null It is empty string

SQL> select * from test_null where name_ is null;

       ID_ NAME_
---------- ----------
         2
         3

SQL> select * from test_null where name_=‘‘;

no rows selected

SQL> select * from test_null where cast(name_ as varchar2(10))=‘‘;

no rows selected

SQL> select * from test_null where cast(name_ as varchar2(10))=cast(‘‘ as varchar2(10));

no rows selected

SQL> select * from test_null where name_<>‘‘;

no rows selected

SQL> select * from test_null where nvl(name_,‘‘)=‘‘;

no rows selected

SQL> select * from test_null where nvl(name_,‘A‘)=‘A‘;

ID_ NAME_
---------- ----------
2
3

SQL>

2.关于以上现象的解释

oracle 将‘‘ 当成了null 处理。每个null都是独一无二的，对null的操作只能是 is null OR is not null，对于null的=<>,>,<的逻辑判断都会得到否。

3.看看null与‘‘在mysql中的表现

C:\Users\zen>mysql -uzen -p

4.在mysql中null 就是null,‘‘就是空字符，没有将二者混淆起来。
