Yes, the NULL works for parameters of an update statement, where Access would specify a statement such as "update table
setparam =
? where x = 1". But it doesn't work in a select statement. I don't think I have much to work with here. The
statementcomes in as
something like "select * from table where x = ?". I have to replace the ? with something. On updates, 'NULL' works
fine.
I'm not sure what to do about this. On other dbms, parameter passing is handled through a separate protocol to the
backend,usually
after a prepare statement, so on these its no problem to send a null, or large amounts of ascii/binary data, without
havingto worry
about direct substitution into the sql string or hitting the upper limit of the statement string. I think until
Postgreshas such
as protocol for parameter substitution/passing, it will be difficult to fix this problem.
Any suggestions?
