Entering NULL in Sybase

Yosemite Sam has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a system of files that scarf files into a Sybase database I am using Sybperl to handle the interface. How can I pass a true NULL to Sybase when I am creating an entry? The field is nullable, but if I don't enter anything, sybase fails when I try to load large amounts of data into the text field.

Sybperl recognises an `undef` value as meaning NULL. You can also use the actual string NULL. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000, ICA, London <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]
