The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 15298
Logged by: kena
Email address: knz@thaumogen.net
PostgreSQL version: 10.4
Operating system: FreeBSD + Linux
Description:
The SQL standard mandates ternary logic for values that involve NULL, where
NULL means "unknown".
This seems to be implemented only partially in pg:
"select 3 = any (array[1, null])" -> returns NULL, correct
"select null = any (array[1, null])" -> returns NULL, correct
"select 3 in (select unnest(array[1,null]))" -> returns NULL, correct
"select null in (select unnest(array[1,null]))" -> returns NULL, correct
However:
"select array[1,2] = array[1,null]" -> returns false !?
"select array[1,null] = array[1,null]" -> returns true !?
Is this intended behavior? If so, where is it documented?
If not intended, any suggestion as to how to work around it?
Thanks in advance,
