SET ANSI_NULLS Reference?
Added by:Mike C_1
"If either or both operands are NULL, see the topic SET ANSI_NULLS (Transact-SQL)."

SET ANSI_NULLS is irrelevant to this article. If either or both operands are NULL the result of a greater-than comparison is always UNKNOWN regardless of the SET ANSI_NULLS setting.
