Another, slightly gruesome possibility is that most databases will let you select an expression such as ISNULL or IFNULL. You could use that to return an empty string from the query: select ISNULL(thefield,'',thefield) This will return '' for a null, thefield otherwise. You'll have to check the Postgresql docs to see what equivalent expressions it has. Tom P [Stefan H. Holek]
IIRC, the ZPyGreSQL DA will also return an empty string for NULL. You might want to try that for an easy upgrade. Psycopg is IMHO a far better DA though.
