10.1.0.4 JDBC drivers return null instead of empty String!
428751Aug 18 2005 — edited Aug 26 2005We would really like to move to the newer Oracle JDBC 10.1.0.4 drivers, they offer some incredible performance improvements. Problem is, where before, the drivers returned an empty String "" from an indexed table, the drivers now return a null reference!!! Not good for us as we would like to move to the drivers but not modify our code which has been in production now for the last 18 months!
Is there any system property or driver setting that would tell the driver to return null as empty String?
An quick reply on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
