Hi everyone,
I'd like to pull up all chemical elements whose boiling points are null
(i.e., that have no value). Using parallax, you can see a table of
elements along with the boiling points:
http://mqlx.com/~david/parallax/browse.html?state=!((d:(t:/chemistry/chemical_element),s:(v:!((c:ThumbnailView,s:()),(c:TabularView,s:(asc:!t,c:(s:!f),cols:!((p:(d:!(),s:!t)),(p:(d:!(!((f:!t,p:/chemistry/chemical_element/boiling_point))),s:!t))),sort:0))),vi:1)))
or

(hit "Render Table")
I figured out how to get elements whose boiling points are not null by
asking for "boiling_point<" : 100000 -- since all real elements have bp
< 1000000 C but any null elements would return false:
http://is.gd/iY6k
query is:
[
{
"atomic_number" : null,
"boiling_point" : null,
"boiling_point<" : 100000,
"name" : null,
"sort" : "atomic_number",
"type" : "/chemistry/chemical_element"
}
]
The question I have is how to ask for non-null values more directly.
How do I say something like
"boiling_point!=" : null
