List pgsql-general
hello list,

if i have a table foo with a column called bar of type boolean
and if i insert into foo (foobar) values('bar') without
explicitly inserting a value for bar, the bar column of this
particular row will be empty. it's neither 't' nor 'f'.

i can select all rows where bar eqals to 't' and all
rows where bar equals to 'f'.

But I want to know, how I can select all rows which neither
match 't' nor 'f' ? To perform an update like

UPDATE foo SET bar='t' WHERE bar=null;

or anything similar. What syntax can I use?

thanks for your help

Mit freundlichem Gruß
