in thread DBI: passing undef as an argument

Because --as you can read in my other post in this thread-- "NULL" breaks the relational model and the meaning of "NULL" is ambiguous and such meaning cannot be derived from the database itself but must come from external sources. Meditate upon it and you will see I'm right ;-)

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
