Testing === null is the only correct behaviour as far as I'm concerned. There's one thing missing though, and that is the comparison operator in SQL. If you want to compare a field with NULL, you need to use "IS NULL", while for others you can use "=". We should have a mechanism for this, or people will have to special-case NULL values anyway. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@alltheweb.com> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
