SQL Server Interview: Is NULL = NULL valid condition?

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

If you are a SQL Database Developer, you might be writing some condition like WHERE 1=1 or WHERE 1=2.
Here, I simply modified it and instead of WHERE 1=1 what do you think about WHERE NULL=NULL.

Last year, I asked this question and most of the developers were confused. Actually, NULL = NULL returns nothing because NULL is not a real value.

Check the below demonstration:

Create a table:

1
2
3
4
5
CREATE TABLE tbl_Employee (EmpID INT, EmpName VARCHAR(10), DOB DATE)
 
INSERT INTO tbl_Employee VALUES
(1,'Anvesh','19880126'),(2,'Jenny','19910409'),(3,'Alpesh','19930610')
,(4,'Roy','19910214'),(5,'Manish','19850505'),(6,'Nupur','19880808')

Returns all records:

1
2
SELECT * FROM tbl_Employee
WHERE 1=1

Returns nothing:

1
2
SELECT * FROM tbl_Employee
WHERE NULL=NULL
