Hi all,
My database table has a column that seems to have both NULL and empty values in it. In TOAD it shows as:
When querying the database with DB Connect 2 | dbxquery connection=nulltest output=csv shortnames=true maxrows=0 query="select * from subscribers where username = ''" , the NULL-fields seem to have become strings, while the blank values look empty.
I could live with this if Splunk interpreted the NULL-strings as actual null-values; however, when I try to select all rows with null-values - where isnull(authentication_url) - only the rows that initially were blanks are returned.
Is there a way to avoid this behaviour? Possibly in the settings, and preferably without having to fill all field with alternative values to correct the behaviour?
