Maybe this the correct behavior, but I am confused about
 the statments below:

CREATE TABLE testing ( fmsg CHAR(1) DEFAULT 'N' );
INSERT INTO testing VALUES (NULL);
INSERT INTO testing VALUES ('Y');
INSERT INTO testing VALUES ('X');
INSERT INTO testing VALUES ('Y');
INSERT INTO testing VALUES (NULL);
INSERT INTO testing VALUES ('Y');

UPDATE testing SET fmsg = 'N' WHERE fmsg != 'Y';
> Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
> Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

Isn't NULL != 'Y' ?
