First, you really should consider upgrading to MySQL++ v3. You're
clearly still on 2.3 or earlier. There have been probably half a
dozen changes to the way we handle SQL nulls in v3.0.0 and later, some
of them highly useful.
Second, my previous reply didn't say to convert the return value of
Row::operator[]() to a std::string and then make the test. I said to
test the return value of Row::operator[]() directly. Why? Because
there's nothing like SQL null in C or C++. When you convert SQL data
to a non-SQL data type, you lose the SQL null flag. You must test for
the flag before you make the conversion.
