Answer / s
NULL Value indicates the absence of a value. DB2 treats
NULL as an actual value and is not equal to blank, zero or
empty string.
The default value of a CHAR data type is blanks, VARCHAR is
empty string and INT,SMALLINT,FLOAT etc is 0.
NULL is not equal to any of the above.
NULLs does not satify any condition in the SQL except when
IS NULL predicate is used. Null can be used at times when
you cannot specify a value for a column, eg middle names,
not everyone has middle names.
