Yeah, I noticed that funny spacing (left align vs. right align) too, but
it doesn't seem to be the case:
mysql> select * from orders where expired like '%NULL%';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
Plus, all this just started happening yesterday, after everything worked
fine for many days. That leads me to believe there is a problem with a
corrupt table or something. How about this further clue I just noticed:
mysql> select count(*) from orders;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 499 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * into outfile 'orders.bak' from orders;
Query OK, 382 rows affected (0.07 sec)
Weird, huh?
