Hello,

I use the following command to set a TEXT field to NULL in tsql or sqsh. It
is executed without error.

UPDATE table_a SET col_y = NULL WHERE col_id=1

Then if I use SELECT to see the result, it shows up like it is empty value,
not NULL. What's more, if I use php to SELECT this column, it will crash.

Part of the SELECT log by using php:

14:46:53.448043 3827 (token.c:510):processing result tokens.  marker is

(64513)
14:46:53.448289 3827 (cs.c:483):cs_convert() srcdata is null

Please notice that wire column size is 0. If it is NULL, it should be -1.

As I have no problem to SELECT NULL or empty TEXT field, I suppose the
UPDATE is going something wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
