Hi,

I have a database which has a text field (let's name it title). The field
is NULL initially. Now I have about a hundred thousand records in the db,
where the title field is NULL. I have to fill these NULL title fields with
the appropriate data, so I have to select them one-by-one, calculate the
title field, and update the data. So my query would be:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE title = NULL LIMIT 1;

But it does not work. One of you wrote, that NULL is not equal with
anything, not even with NULL. Could you please help me, what kind of
select should I write in situations like this? In this particular case, I
will do find a workaround, but I am curious, how to handle NULL values.

Regards,
