--- copy from mySQL Reference Manual for version 3.23.22-beta, section
7.3.6.2 The DATETIME, DATE and TIMESTAMP types ---

Illegal DATETIME, DATE or TIMESTAMP values are converted to the ``zero''
value of the appropriate type ('0000-00-00 00:00:00', '0000-00-00' or
00000000000000).

Subject: NULL valule


I have a date field, how do I check if it is null or
empty in sql statement.

I tried :
select *
....
where fDate = NULL;

and also tried
where fDate = '';

Both return nothing but actually there are records
with no value.
