Inspired by a StackOverflow question (Why doesn't SQL support "= null" instead of "is null"?).
Is there a DBMS that actually supports the = NULL
syntax?

Some implementations of SQL do recognise x = NULL as equality, the ISO/ANSI standard on the other hand does not. In SQL Server for instance, SET ANSI_NULLS OFF results in (NULL = NULL) = true.
