[SQL] Right way to set a variable to NULL?

[Martin]

Hi,

I'd create a simple wrapper object

class MailAddress(object):
  def __init__(self, address=None):
    self.address = address
  def __str__(self):
    if address:
      return self.adress
    return "NULL"

you can keep most of your code just replace the original instantiation
of the mail str-instance with the MailAddress

This is just scratched up quickly. Hope it helps

Martin
