Thanks for the link. As far as can be told from this, dbase hasn't got nulls at all -- is that correct, or are they just omitting a ton of relevant information? It looks to me like we should just remove the special case for integer fields altogether. The special case for date fields is wrong in detail as well: as coded it will accept "date" fields with a leading sign, which surely is not intentional. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
