Null value in column resulting into no output in sql query

Question

I have 2 tables (stud and stud1). Both having 2 columns but stud1 contains 1 record which is null.

data from query

I have created following 2 queries.First one is returning the accurate result but other one which is using not in returning nothing. I guess that is because of the null value. But I don't understand the reason for it. Can someone help me with this?

Were you expecting *3 India* to appear for your second query? — Sun, Sep 15 '14 at 05:03

See NOT IN clause and NULL values.

That's because your 2nd query equals:

SELECT * FROM #stud
WHERE ID <> NULL

When ansi_nulls is on, ID <> NULL is unknown, so you won't get any rows.
