Subject Re: [ib-support] setNull doesn't work
Author Claudio D'Angelo
OK
I've understand the matter. But I think that the driver can parse
the statement to change the = ? in is null when i set a value with setNull

It's true that the jdbc specification it's clear but It's a logical think
execute this parsing in where condition case.

In this case the PreapredStatement is useless if you have any possibility
to have a null value in where condition (for select, update, delete)

This is all

Thank's a lot to all for help

Good work
