Null (SQL) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_%28SQL%29In SQL, null or NULL is a special marker used to indicate that a data value does not exist in the database. Introduced by the creator of the relational database model, E. F. Codd, SQL null serves to fulfil the requirement that all true relational database management systems (RDBMS) support a representation of "missing information and inapplicable information".
