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.

SET is the ANSI standard for variable assignment, SELECT is not. SET can only assign one variable at a time, SELECT can make multiple assignments at once. If assigning from a query, SET can only assign a scalar value. If the query returns multiple values/rows then SET will raise an error. SELECT will assign one of the values to the variable and hide the fact that multiple values were returned (so you'd likely never know why something was going wrong elsewhere - have fun troubleshooting that one) When assigning from a query if there is no value returned then SET will assign NULL, where SELECT will not make the assignment at all (so the variable will not be changed from it's previous value) As far as speed differences - there are no direct differences between SET and SELECT. However SELECT's ability to make multiple assignments in one shot does give it a slight speed advantage over SET.
