# This script checks which style of WHERE clause(s) will support both
# null and non-null values. Refer to the NULL Values sub-section
# of the "Placeholders and Bind Values" section in the DBI
# documention for more information on this issue. The clause styles
# and their numbering (0-6) map directly to the examples in the
# documentation.
#
# To use this script:
#
# 1) If you are not using the DBI_DSN env variable, then update the
# connect method arguments to support your database engine and
# database, and remove the nearby check for DBI_DSN.
# 2) Set PrintError to 1 in the connect method if you want see the
# engine's reason WHY your engine won't support a particular
# style.
# 3) If your database does not support NULL columns by default
# (e.g. Sybase) find and edit the CREATE TABLE statement
# accordingly.
# 4) To properly test style #5, you need the capability to create the
# stored procedure SP_ISNULL that acts as a function: it tests its
# argument and returns 1 if it is null, 0 otherwise. For example,
# using Informix IDS engine, a definition would look like:
#
# CREATE PROCEDURE SP_ISNULL (arg VARCHAR(32)) RETURNING INTEGER;
# IF arg IS NULL THEN RETURN 1;
# ELSE RETURN 0;
# END IF;
# END PROCEDURE;
#
# Warning: This script will attempt to create a table named by the
# $tablename variable (default dbi__null_test_tmp) and WILL DESTROY
# any pre-existing table so named.
