I have a column that has null values as well as other values such as ‘deactivated’. I am trying to build a query that says “WHERE field <> ‘deactivated” but it returns an empty result set. From my research it seems to be because it can’t compare to the null values. But I haven’t been able to figure out how to get around it.
Thanks

    As it seems that you want nulls included in the result set, the correct condition would be

    WHERE field <> 'deactivated' OR field IS NULL
