Alexey Serbin commented on KUDU-1642:
-------------------------------------
Yes, psql supports NULL in IN-list predicates. At least with PostgreSQL 9.3.
Probably, that's done to support sub-selects like 'SELECT * FROM x WHERE
field_x IN (SELECT field_y FROM y), because {{WHERE field_x IN (NULL)}} should
result in empty resultset by definition (it's the same as {{WHERE field_x =
NULL}}).
{noformat}
postgres@ubuntu-14:~$ psql
psql (9.3.13)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# INSERT INTO x VALUES (0, 1);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# INSERT INTO x VALUES (1, NULL);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# SELECT * FROM x;
a | b
---+---
0 | 1
1 |
(2 rows)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM x WHERE a IN (0, NULL);
a | b
---+---
0 | 1
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM x WHERE b IN (1, NULL);
a | b
---+---
0 | 1
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM x WHERE b IN (NULL);
a | b
---+---
(0 rows)
