Here is a perfect DB example (Oracle) using SQL, answering both of the above:

CREATE TABLE neo
(
knowledge_id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
understands_anything_about VARCHAR2(2000) NOT NULL )
;

INSERT INTO neo
VALUES(1,'Knowledgeof model vs. implementation as explained by other usenet message posters.')
;

1 row created.

SELECT *
FROM neo
WHERE neo.understands_anything_about IS NULL ;

no rows returned. Received on Sun Dec 05 2004 - 20:28:50 CET
