While DRH is technically correct, it is possible to use coding convention
to drive a solution ... trivially:
$ tclsh8.5
% proc x {} {
return NULL
}
% puts [x]
NULL
for instance:
% proc recode { val } {
set ret $val
if { [string bytelength $val] == 0 } {
set ret NULL
}
return $ret
}
% recode "a value"
a value
% recode ""
NULL
There are, of course many reasons why a null string is not equivalent to
NULL, but for many applications, the differences are moot.
I'm just saying ...
