	Null set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In measure theory, a null set is a set that is negligible for the purposes of the measure in question.
		In particular, the set Q of rational numbers is a null set, despite being dense in R.
		Null sets play a key role in the definition of the Lebesgue integral: if functions f and g are equal except on a null set, then f is integrable if and only if g is, and their integrals are equal.

	Empty set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In axiomatic set theory it is postulated to exist by the axiom of empty set and all finite sets are constructed from it.
		All its boundary points (of which there are none) are in the empty set, and the set is therefore closed; while all its interior points (of which there are again none) are in the empty set, and the set is therefore open.
		In the axiomatization of set theory known as Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, the existence of the empty set is assured by the axiom of empty set.

	PlanetMath: empty set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms of set theory imply that there exists an empty set.
		An empty set is a subset of every other set, and any two empty sets are equal.
		This is version 3 of empty set, born on 2001-10-19, modified 2004-04-05.

	null set - a Whatis.com definition - see also: empty set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In mathematical sets, the null set, also called the empty set, is the set that does not contain anything.
		The null set makes it possible to explicitly define the results of operations on certain sets that would otherwise not be explicitly definable.
		In axiomatic mathematics, zero is defined as the cardinality of (that is, the number of elements in) the null set.

		In measure theory, a null set is a set which is neglible for the purposes of the measure in question.
		Let X be a measurable space, let m be a measure on X, and let N be a measurable set[?] in X.
		A nonmeasurable set is considered null if it's a subset of a null measurable set.

	PHP: is_null - Manual
		I have variables that may be set to empty ($test = "";) when passed into a fuction and as such may be set, but not null, but still empty.
		We can conclude that is_null will error on an unset variable, and thus is not the same as isset.
		Regarding avoidance of NULLs in your MySQL queries, why not use IS NULL and IS NOT NULL in your WHERE clauses.

	SortedSet (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
		A set that further guarantees that its iterator will traverse the set in ascending element order, sorted according to the natural ordering of its elements (see Comparable), or by a Comparator provided at sorted set creation time.
		All elements inserted into an sorted set must implement the Comparable interface (or be accepted by the specified Comparator).
		The returned sorted set is backed by this sorted set, so changes in the returned sorted set are reflected in this sorted set, and vice-versa.

	pselect
		The pselect() function shall examine the file descriptor sets whose addresses are passed in the readfds, writefds, and errorfds parameters to see whether some of their descriptors are ready for reading, are ready for writing, or have an exceptional condition pending, respectively.
		If the writefds argument is not a null pointer, it points to an object of type fd_set that on input specifies the file descriptors to be checked for being ready to write, and on output indicates which file descriptors are ready to write.
		If sigmask is not a null pointer, then the pselect() function shall replace the signal mask of the caller by the set of signals pointed to by sigmask before examining the descriptors, and shall restore the signal mask of the calling thread before returning.

	[No title]
		PROOF: The set of points of discontinuity of any function forms an F_sigma set (can be written as a countable union of closed sets), and it is easy to see that any F_sigma Lebesgue null set is also first category.
		Therefore, the collection of sigma-Jordan null sets is a sigma-ideal that is contained in the sigma-ideal of sets simultaneously Lebesgue null and first category.
		Finally, the construction of such a set is briefly outlined by Lipinski [11] in 1972, the paper Balcerzak, Baumgartner, and Hejduk [2] refer to for such a set.

	PHP: NULL - Manual
		Finally, for those who do not know SQL: in SQL the NULL value is evaluated a bit like "I do not know; it could be anything, like 0, 1, a, b, true, false or even nothing at all".
		Nulls are almost the same as unset variables and it is hard to tell the difference without creating errors from the interpreter:
		So, in most cases I found that we needed to use !isset($var) intead of is_null($var) and then set $var = NULL if the variable needs to be used later to guarantee that $var is a valid variable with a NULL value instead of being undefined.

	.NET GC Myth #1 -- Set Object to Null (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		There is never any reason to setting your objects to null (or nothing in VB) since the GC will do this for you automatically.
		Just that while you may not “need” to set your objects to null, there are some cases where you can realize significant gains by being preemptive and setting your large objects to null when you know they are no longer needed.
		Setting Object To Null is usually not necessary, because the JIT compiler tracks the LAST use of a variable within a method.

		The power set of a set S, is a set of all the subsets of S. This is written as P(S).

	PHPBuilder.com - Differentiate between not set and NULL
		As far as I can tell NULL and not set are just about the same.
		So if you rely on a script that may or may not set a variable or array index (which would indicate whether or not that variable or index was in fact processed by that script), then testing for the difference between never set and set but NULL could be valuable.
		NULL can't mean "never been set" if you can set it to NULL in the first place.

	Brad Abrams : To set to Nothing (null) or not...
		Admittly this will only happen when the GC happens to kick off while the method is runnning but before the statements that null the variable are reached, so the effect would be minimal to say the least for almost all cases.
		I'm in agreement that setting to null should be the exception, but I've also posted sample code that proved it can make a big difference at times and its been frustrating to see some people not want to acknowledge that -- so great post -- very well balanced.
		Basically setting to Nothing in the right order fixed some refcounting issues with the ADO classes in a particular version.

	Exploring 'ON DELETE SET NULL' in SQL Server 2005
		At first glance, the 'ON DELETE SET NULL' option in SQL Server 2005 may not seem like a big deal, but once you've seen how it can be used, I think you will be impressed.
		It allows the "parent" record to be deleted and sets the "child" record's column to NULL.
		This meant that a sign-on ID that had been deleted could not be used again as long as the "soft" deleted record remained in the table (due to a unique constraint on the SignonID column).
