Does that strike anyone else as strange?

I have wondered since I found the wasNull function why there can't be a simple isNull function in the JDBC spec. Would be so much eaiser most of the time. Well, for me anyway.

See javadocs for java.sql.ResultSet.wasNull() method. Main idea is
that first you have to read column value. If the getXXX method returns
non-primitive type (i.e. subclass of java.lang.Object), then you get
null value. But if method returns primitive type (int, long, double,
etc.), you get a default value from the specification (usually 0 or
0.0) and then you have to check value of ResultSet.wasNull() method.
