Jay is talking about SQL.  SQL /does/ use NULL for 'unknown'.  And the OP was 
trying to match values with NULL.  And was using a SQL command to do it.  So 
the matching will be done using SQL semantics.  See this page for the result:

http://www.sqlite.org/nulls.html

If you want to explicitly test for NULL, use the function typeof().
