 The REST API provides programmatic access to the objects in a SQL Server 2017 Reporting Services report server catalog. Examples of objects are folders, reports, KPIs, data sources, datasets, refresh plans, subscriptions, and more. Using the REST API, you can, for example, navigate the folder hierarchy, discover the contents of a folder, or download a report definition. You can also create, update, and delete objects. Examples of working with objects are upload a report, execute a refresh plan, delete a folder, and so on.

+ When you compare using a NULL expression, the result depends on the `ANSI_NULLS` setting:

+-   If `ANSI_NULLS` is set to ON, the result of any comparison with NULL is UNKNOWN, following the ANSI convention that NULL is an unknown value and cannot be compared with any other value, including other NULLs.

- Any sort of comparison of a NULL value (an unknown) to a non-NULL value always results in FALSE.
