Hi, There has been a recent discussion on the hacker mailing-list recently, regarding a new patch for postgresql, that returns 'NULL' instead of NULL when a NULL value is passed as a parameter.
It's exactly what I need on my 8.2.5 server. Is there an alternative to patching the server in order to get that kind of feature, for example with plpgsql code? Because of that bug: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ.html#item4.19 ... I'm obliged to call EXECUTE at every temporary table call, and constructing the query string where parameters can be NULL is really a nightmare...
