No, it's not those other things, that's just using the tool incorrectly. A NULL is definitely "we dont know", not false, not N/A, especially not any known value

- swiftcoder 2y agoExcept in every other programming language with a null, null is the definite absence of something
- hobs 2y agoSure, and we're talking about SQL nulls in this context, which is why I am strict in my definition.
- dominicrose 2y agoYes and I think that Clojure handles nil pretty well, and it's a functional programming language like SQL. It's also interesting to see that Typescript has added an unknown type. So something that's a value in SQL (null being unknown) is a type in TS.
