Hello Oracle gurus!

==>As always it s about null values<==

select TOTO from BABA where TOTO <> 1;
select TOTO from BABA where TOTO <> 1 or TOTO is null;

why first statement does not return null values? Am I obliged to specify the statement "or TOTO is null" ? "1 <> null" condition is true or not?

does that behaviour can be circumvented?

Thks!
