According to the book, quote will return an undefined value as the string NULL
(without quotation marks) to match how NULLs are represented in SQL. I took this
to mean that it would correctly send NULL as a value rather than a word to ASA.
The script (process) died with a core dump, there was no DBI error message.
Yes, the field patient title allows nulls.
