null value of type java.sql.Time

I can retreive the record with the null value (type Time) if I select on
the primary key,
select game_clock from event where event_id = 1;

but when I try to select on the null column value, I get zero records.
select * from event where game_clock=null;

Try
select * from event where game_clock is null;

A null value cannot be used in a comparison since it's undefined. You
have to explicitly query for something that has no value, hence the
different syntax.

Try:
SELECT * FROM event WHERE game_clock IS NULL;

How can I retreive records with null values for a column?
thanks,
