Detailed Description

template<typename TYPE, typename ENABLE = void>
struct pqxx::nullness< TYPE, ENABLE >

Traits describing a type's "null value," if any.

Some C++ types have a special value or state which correspond directly to SQL's NULL.

The nullness traits describe whether it exists, and whether a particular value is null.

Member Function Documentation

is_null()

template<typename TYPE , typename ENABLE = void>

static bool pqxx::nullness< TYPE, ENABLE >::is_null ( TYPE const &  value )

static

Is value a null?

null()

template<typename TYPE , typename ENABLE = void>

static TYPE pqxx::nullness< TYPE, ENABLE >::null ( )

static

Return a null value.

Don't use this in generic code to compare a value and see whether it is null. Some types may have multiple null values which do not compare as equal, or may define a null value which is not equal to anything including itself, like in SQL.
