What happens when i do TO_DATE(NULL,'Jsssss')?
can i do a select statement with a where clause like
dt = TO_DATE(NULL,'Jsssss'); where dt is a date field in table.
Will the above select statement give me all the records with d column as blank?

Why can't you just do:
"where dt is null" ?
do you want to avoid the "is null" syntax?
