Ques 91. How To Enter Binary Numbers in SQL Statements?
If you want to enter character strings or numeric values as binary numbers, you can quote binary numbers with single quotes and a prefix of (B), or just prefix binary numbers with (0b). Binary numbers will be automatically converted into character strings or numeric values based on the expression contexts. Here are some good examples:
SELECT B'010000010100001001000011' FROM DUAL;
ABC
SELECT 0b1000 + 0 FROM DUAL;

Ques 95. What Happens If NULL Values Are Involved in Expressions?
If NULL values are used in expressions, the resulting values will be NULL values. In other words:
► Arithmetic expressions with NULL values result NULL values.
► Comparison expressions with NULL values result NULL values.
► Logical expressions with NULL values result NULL values.
The tutorial exercise shows you some interesting examples:
SELECT NULL + NULL FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT NULL + 7 FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT NULL * 7 FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT NULL = NULL FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT 0 < NULL FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT '' > NULL FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT NULL AND TRUE FROM DUAL;
NULL
SELECT NULL OR TRUE FROM DUAL;
