I have the following query:
SELECT * FROM "sales_projects" WHERE (((sales_projects.prospect ILIKE E'%rancho murieta%') OR
(sales_projects.prospect_typeILIKE E'%rancho murieta%') OR (sales_projects.application ILIKE E'%rancho murieta%') OR
(sales_projects.projectILIKE E'%rancho murieta%') OR (sales_projects.city ILIKE E'%rancho murieta%') OR
(sales_projects.stateILIKE E'%rancho murieta%') OR (sales_projects.project_status ILIKE E'%rancho murieta%')) AND
(((sales_projects.project_status!= E'Dead') AND (sales_projects.project_status != E'Ordered')) AND
((sales_projects.statusIN (E'Active',E'Expired')) AND (sales_projects.kind = E'Project'))))
Yes, it is ugly, but that's not the issue. This query returns just one record when I would expect it to return two.
Theonly difference in the two records is in the sales_projects.project_status field. One record has an empty string,
thesecond has a null value. The NULL value in sales_projects.project_status is not returned.
Can someone explain why the NULL value in sales_projects.project_status field does not fit this query?
Secondly, can you offer some advice to EXCLUDE records where sales_projects.project_status is Ordered and Dead?
Thanks a million for any help.
