Basic select statement question

If I want to select certain values from a table where date is equal to something and the second field is null,would I go.

select * from table where date = 'something' and Sent = null or something else because if I do it this way I get nothing as a result but if I scroll down I can see that I have null values.

thanksNULL is a tricky beast, because nothing ever equals NULL, not even NULL itself. You need to modify your statement slightly to use a semantically different test, like:SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE date = 'something'
AND Sent IS nullThis seems like a trivial difference, and from a coding perspective it is. From the logical perspective however, the difference is huge.

-PatP|||Ooh,that made all the difference, I always say, it is easy once you know how to do it.
Thanks for you help once again|||Since you're dealing with this, you might want to look up ANSI_NULLS in Book Online and memorize it. :) It will save you a lot of pain down the road. Make sure you use SET ANSI_NULLS ON when creating tables and procedures.|||Will do so,thanks
