Hello all,
I am using phoenix arrays. My question is in regards as to how you would
set null for an empty array or for the array field type. I can't seem to
get that to work. If I have a string[] I can set an array with a single
empty string, but it seems like I should be able to set the param to null.
I don't know what I would do for another type of array like bigint.
Example:
CREATE TABLE regions (
region_name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
nullable_field VARCHAR,
zips VARCHAR[]
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY (region_name));
I can
UPSERT INTO regions(region_name, nullable_field)
VALUES('SF Bay Area', null)
but not
UPSERT INTO regions(region_name, nullable_field, zips)
VALUES('SF Bay Area', 'one', null)
I can also
UPSERT INTO regions(region_name, nullable_field, zips)
VALUES('SF Bay Area', null, ARRAY[''])
and this seems to return null for the array but not sure how to use this
approach for other types.
I have the same issue attempting to use jdbc, when I call the
PreparedStatement's
*setNull
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html#setNull(int,%20int)>*(int
parameterIndex,
int sqlType) and I set the sqlType to ARRAY.
Seems that the error I get is
java.lang.NullPointerException

Any thoughts on what I should be seeing or doing?
