Now is this a bug: ?
junk is a table with one column of type varchar(2).

ORACLE:   SQL> select * from junk;  

NAME



1
2
3
4  

SQL> select * from junk where name not in ('1','2','');  

no rows selected

where are 3 and 4.

Same Query with sybase.
SYBASE:   1> select * from junk
2> go
 name


 1                         
 3                         
 4                         
 2                         
 

1> select * from junk where name not in ('1','2','') 2> go
 name


 3                         
 4                         

3 and 4 present. Received on Mon Feb 06 1995 - 06:05:25 CET
