Subject Problems with NULL
Author Marc Geldon
Hello!

I have a problem with "NULL". If I run a statement like SELECT CAST(NULL AS INTEGER)+1 AS NUMMER FROM WHATEVER the result is NULL!

That's a problem. I had a SQL which was running on mySQL. Some sort of:

INSERT INTO WHATEVER (NUMBER, USER)
SELECT (MAX(NUMBER)+1) AS NUMBER,
"a name" AS USER FROM WHATEVER

In mySQL it worked very well. In FB not! He tells me something about datatype not known and so on. Also a CAST AS INTEGER does not work. How can I convert this NULL into a 0?

Please help!

Thank you very much in advance!


best wishes,

Marc
