Re: Same data, different results in Postgres vs. FrontBase

AFAIK NULL is not a value according to SQL spec, so it doesn't match in a "not
in" clause (or any other value comparing clause for that matter, i.e. blabla
>= 10 will not match rows where blabla is null). Therefor I'd say the result
of 30 is correct.
If you want to see null results too you should say so, i.e.

CON.IS_SUBSCRIBED NOT IN ('X', 'P') OR CON.IS_SUBSCRIBED IS NULL
