Also, have you seen people complain about my patch to MySQL that adds NULL's to the result set?
No because isset() returns false for NULL values. But many people would like it to return true, and then it would break people's scripts. I guess at that point we could change the MySQL module back and not really break people's scripts. I have a definite need to know whether $row['foo'] is NULL or not. Can you propose a solution towards that? If you revert the patch, then the result set will look as if column 'foo' was never returned.

How do you know today if it's NULL or not? You can't really tell. It does effect array traversal. I'm not saying it's right or wrong now. I'm just trying to think ahead especially as there are mixed feelings about how NULL should behave. Andi
