You should use wasNull after each getXxx method if the column being read
allows null. It's as simple as:

      text = rs.getString(2);
    if (rs.wasNull()) {
        System.out.println("This column is SQL null");
    } else {
        // process data
    }

It's particularly useful when you are reading values to basic data type
variables (not objects) because there is no value that uniquely
represents the SQL null. For example getInt returns 0 (zero) if the
value is null but it would also return 0 when the value is zero.
(ResultSet.getString must return null when the column value is null; I'm
using it in Posrgres JDBC driver and it works fine.)

Check

Paulo -

I am using ResultSet.getString but Im not
sure how I can use ResultSet.wasNull.  Is
there an example I could look at?

Thanks :)
