how to use the condition field is null in Entity Framework Core (Oracle)

Question

I need to use the condition "field is null" in linq, I tried using "field == null" but it doesn't bring me the records.

var query = from p in _context.Product
where p.PRODUCT_IND_CHANGE == null
select new ProductViewModel { Id = p.PRODUCT_ID, name = p.PRODUCT_NAME };

I made this small subquery to understand why it doesn't work.

SELECT 
(SELECT count(1)
        FROM PRODUCTS
        WHERE PRODUCT_IND_CHANGE != NULL
) AS SYMBOL_OPERATOR1
,(SELECT count(1)
        FROM PRODUCTS
        WHERE PRODUCT_IND_CHANGE IS NULL
) AS SYMBOL_OPERATOR2
FROM DUAL

is there any way to use "where field is null" in linq or to simulate it?

librarys:

• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore (version 6.0.8)
• Oracle.EntityFrameworkCore (version 6.21.61)

UPDATE 1:

I just checked the log, and it's printing the following when transforming to pl sql code

Is your class's "PRODUCT_IND_CHANGE" attribute nullable? Something like

public int? PRODUCT_IND_CHANGE {get; set; }
