I have the following EmployeeMaster table in Test database.

empID empName empStatus
1 Naga A
2 Sundar A
3 Siva A
4 Shankar A
5 Kevin NULL
6 Kumar I


In Empstatus column we are having four Active employees,one inactive employee and one employee without any status that is NULL.

If I run the following query, how many rows will be returned by SQL Server?

select * from EmployeeMaster where empStatus <> 'A'
