[Zope-DB] Return a Null string instead of a "None" string, DCOracle2

[Remy Pinsonnault]

Thanks for your quick response Matt!
 
I already have dco2.c version 1.137.
 
What flag do I have to change to return a NULL instead of a None singleton?
I changed ZEROLENISNULL to 1 as you suggested but it does not help... The
more I think about this the more I think the problem is not in dco2 but in
Zope?? When I do a <dtml-var> of the result, I get literally "None" in my
application. Could it be that Zope interprets the None singleton as a
"None"?? This only occurs for columns of type varchar2...
 
One detail: there is a missing bracket ({) in source code:
 
#if ZEROLENISNULL
 if (len == 0)
 {
  Py_INCREF(Py_None);
  TRACE(T_EXIT,("sAs", "ResultSetItem_value", Py_None,
   "0 Len"));
  return Py_None;
 }
#endif 
 
Thanks
 
Remy

DCOracle2 never returns "None" as a string -- it will return the None
singleton. There's a compile time flag in the source that controls the
behavior of if a zero-length result is returned as None or not. The default
is for this to be OFF, but this is something that is only in the CVS source
-- the 1.3 release doesn't have that change in it.

Hi,
 
I'm running the last DCOracle2 version under Windows XP, Oracle 9i and
Python 2.3.
 
Right now the product returns a string containing "None" when the result is
a zero-length varchar2 (NULL). How can I change this behaviour?
 
Can i change something in the source code to get a Null value? At least if I
could modify the "None" string to something else it would be better because
the application is in spanish and None doesn't look good...
 
Thanks in advance
