# Is It Null Or Not Null?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In PostgreSQL, the standard way to check if something is `NULL` is like so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
select * as wild_pokemons from pokemons where trainer_id is null;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To check if something is not null, you just add `not`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
select * as captured_pokemons from pokemons where trainer_id is not null;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PostgreSQL also comes with `ISNULL` and `NOTNULL` which are non-standard
|
||||||
|
ways of doing the same as above:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
select * as wild_pokemons from pokemons where trainer_id isnull;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
select * as captured_pokemons from pokemons where trainer_id notnull;
|
||||||
|
```
