Hi Jeff,
Try the magic undef as it is with no '' or ""
$dbh->do('insert into yourtab values (' .
join (',', map($dbh->quote($_), $your_stuff, undef, $more_stuff)) .
')') ;
Regards

Hello,
I've got a mysql table with a lot of fields and I'm using a map
statement to pass each of my values for a new record through the quote
system so-as to have everything nicely wrapped up. Problem is that I
can't find any way of writing a null value to my DB when the value has
first passed through quote().
I've tried:
my $err = $MyDatabase->do('INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES(' .
join(",",map($MyDatabase->quote($_),
0, # REF
0, # PARENT REF
$FormData{'Title'} . " " . $FormData{'Name'} . "",
$FormData{'Email'} . "",
"\N", # <-- I REALLY WANT THIS TO BE A NULL VALUE!
etc.,
etc.,
etc.....
)) .
')');
Which works fine except the "\N" isn't entered into my database as a
null value. I've also tried '\N' and '' and "".
Any ideas how I can solve this easily?
Thanks,
Jeff
