One-factorial is one, so it's correct.
Yes, but I think he was expecting the behavior to be different from /
not equal. So he meant to write:
select * from tbl where col_a != 1;
I.e. col_a different from 1.
BTW isn't the "preferred" way of writing different from / not equal in
SQL to use the <> operator?
