SELECT 1 = 1, 1=2,NULL = NULL, NULL=3,3= NULL;
Sample Output:
mysql> SELECT 1 = 1, 1=2,NULL = NULL, NULL=3,3= NULL; +-------+-----+-------------+--------+---------+ | 1 = 1 | 1=2 | NULL = NULL | NULL=3 | 3= NULL | +-------+-----+-------------+--------+---------+ | 1 | 0 | NULL | NULL | NULL | +-------+-----+-------------+--------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT pub_name,country,pub_city,estd
FROM publisher
WHERE country='USA';
