test=# create table m (c1 char(10), c2 char(10));
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into m values('hello', null);
INSERT 0 1
test=# select * from m where c1 = 'hello';
c1 | c2
------------+----
hello |
(1 row)
test=# select * from m where c2 is null;
c1 | c2
------------+----
hello |
(1 row)

Notice if an column is null, then nothing is shown. So the strange thing is
how you get "null"?
