When I do the following query:
SELECT * FROM geo_trivia WHERE city IS NULL;
certain columns that DO have 'NULL' value for city and not a '' (blank)
value do not show up.
I have even gone to the extent of reseting these records value as ='NULL'
with UPDATE and they are still are not selected
Have you tried to set city = null (i.e. without the quotes)? David.

Spot on, I'd think.
NULL values are not a string with NULL in it - that's only what it looks like
in query results :-) An empty string ('') is to strings
