| If the expression value is.. | and the result set returned by the subquery contains at least one NULL, then.. | or the result set returned by the subquery contains no NULLs, then.. |
|---|---|---|
| NULL | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN |
| not NULL | If there exists at least one value in the subquery result set for which the comparison with the expression value is FALSE, then the search condition evaluates to FALSE. Otherwise, the search condition evaluates to UNKNOWN. | If there exists at least one value in the subquery result set for which the comparison with the expression value is FALSE, then the search condition evaluates to FALSE.
