JDBC problem

[Bruce Lowe]

Hi All   I'm trying the below query which seems to always execute fine while in the SAP SQL studio.   SELECT fg.faq_group_description,    fq.question,     fq.faq_question_number FROM faq_group fg,     faq_question fq   WHERE fq.faq_group_number (+) = fg.faq_group_number AND     fg.faq_group_number = 305   However the problem comes in, in my Java program (which uses the latest JDBC driver to connect), under a condition that there are no questions for the FAQ Group   (i.e. some example of a result is shown below when this happens)   (varchar)    (Long)    (Integer) ABC        ?            ?   If there is a null in a "Long" field (field of unlimited acsii values), then the JDBCDriver seems to throw some kind of NullPointer exception because its created a java.io.Reader to read something thats not there!!  This seems to be a bug in the driver.  I can catch the Exception and assume the data is null, but it seems strange it only happens on Longs.    I was wondering if anyone has heard of this bug and knows when/if it might be fixed?   Kind Regards Bruce
