Question

我试图从特定列为NULL的表中获取所有记录。但我没有得到任何记录。另一方面，有许多记录，其中长度（字段）确实为0。

select count(*) from article a where length(for_interest) =0;
 count 
-------
     9
(1 row)

select count(*) from article a where for_interest is NULL ;
 count 
-------
     0
(1 row)

有关NULL的事情我没有做对吗？更多信息

select count(*) from article AS a where for_interest is NOT NULL ;
 count 
-------
    15
(1 row)

select count(*) from article ;
 count 
-------
    15
(1 row)

PostgreSQL版本是9.3.2。

添加样本数据，表格描述等（仅为此创建2个记录的新样本表）

test=# \d sample_article 
           Table "public.sample_article"
    Column    |          Type          | Modifiers 
--------------+------------------------+-----------
 id           | integer                | 
 title        | character varying(150) | 
 for_interest | character varying(512) | 

test=# select * from sample_article where length(for_interest)=0;
 id |                              title                              | for_interest

Character types可以保留空字符串''，不一个NULL值。
空字符串的长度为0. NULL值的长度为NULL 大多数函数都会为NULL输入返回NULL。

SELECT length('');   --> 0
SELECT length(NULL); --> NULL

SELECT NULL IS NULL; --> TRUE
SELECT '' IS NULL;   --> FALSE

PostgreSQL是NULL和长度
