do_postgres typecasting empty String to nil
Reported by Dan Kubb (dkubb) | May 4th, 2008 @ 02:05 AM
Currently do_postgres is casting all empty string results to nil. I believe this is happening here in the typecast function:
http://github.com/sam/do/tree/ma...
The problem with this is that I have a case where I need to know if the column actually was NULL, or contained an empty string.
After looking over the postgres docs, it appears as if they have a PQgetisnull function that can be used to see if a field is actually NULL or contains some value. I think this should be used before the typecast method so that empty string results can be differentiated from NULL results.
