Consider a table in a database like
name color
----- -------
bananas yellow
apples red
kumquats NULL
lemons yellow
When you select where color is not yellow
you get kumquats with your apples.
Some people claim that the (Boolean) algebra in
a database is insane because it produces
results which are sometimes unexpected.
