it’s a little different from oracle in mysql when deal with NULL.

mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> create table diffcount(id char(8));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into diffcount values(’hello’);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into diffcount values(’world’);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into diffcount values(null);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into diffcount values(’count’);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> show create table  diffcount;
