hi everybody.
I have the following problem:

suppose to have a table containing the following values for a field 'field1':

ROW 1 --> a
ROW 2 --> b
ROW 3 --> (Null value)

if i execute this query
select field1 from table where field1 <> 'a' group by field1;

the result is

b

the rows with null values are not selected.

how can i select even the null values?
Note:
i can't modify the query using an = constraint!!
or asking for is null
