Fair enough.  Personally I agree... CF's thing with not having nulls
and using empty strings instead was just a crap idea from the outset.

However BD not following that lead... also not great, I think.  CF has
set the precedent - optimally or otherwise - that nulls returned from
the DB are exposed to CFML as empty strings.  And BD should have
followed suit there, I reckon.  However we are where we are, so that
can't be helped now.

Railo, FWIW, returns empty strings like CF does.

Anyway, no probs.  I see what you've done and why, so fair enough.

Cheers for the quick feedback!
