<p>Global 'null' instance. Use wherever you need a SQL null. </p>
<p>SQL null is equal to nothing else. It is not the same as C++'s NULL value, it is not a Boolean false....it is unique. As such, if you use this in some other type context, you will get a compiler error saying something about <code>CannotConvertNullToAnyOtherDataType</code>. The only thing you can assign this object instance to is a variable of type Null<T>, and then only directly. Code like this does not work:</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keywordtype">int</span> foo = return_some_value_for_foo();</div><div class="line"><a class="code" href="classmysqlpp_1_1Null.html">mysqlpp::Null<int></a> bar = foo ? foo : <a class="code" href="null_8h.html#a1a8f2c546401c800672ddcc7fc9abd62">mysqlpp::null</a>;</div></div><!-- fragment --><p>The compiler will try to convert mysqlpp::null to <code>int</code> to make all values in the conditional operation consistent, but this is not legal. Anyway, it's questionable code because it means you're using SQL null to mean the same thing as zero here. If zero is a special value, there's no reason to use SQL null. SQL null exists when every value for a particular column is legal and you need something that means "no legal value". </p>
