[Sqlrelay-discussion] NULL values from queries

[Dave S. <dsu...@co...>]

I'm using the PEAR PHP interface for SQLRelay while modifying an  
application to support SQLRelay.  I'm converting from the PEAR oci8  
(Oracle) interface.  I'm having a problem because of NULL values.  I  
see the default for SQLRelay is to return empty strings instead of  
NULLs (sqlrcur_getNullsAsEmptyStrings) and this is problematic for  
the code (it is expecting NULLs).  I see the function to change the  
setting to that NULLs are returned (sqlrcur_getNullsAsNulls).

But, as I'm using the PEAR interface I don't see a way of making this  
function call when the cursor is created (except to modify the source  
DB/sqlrelay.php).

Is there a way to modify this default value globally?

I don't know that there is a reasonable way to modify the PEAR  
interface to make this configurable.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Dave
