Questions about null fields.

Created by: timothyjlaurent

Hi I love this function although I had a difficult time getting it working for some tables initially.

I had to make the following change to the program to get it working :

            #fieldType = ("numeric(%i, %i)" %(numericFieldWidth, columnScale))
            fieldType = ("double precision")

I am wondering now how I can get NULL values to show up?

    # This trick makes possible to get rid of the null values in the pivoted tables.
    # TODO: Consider to make it optional, with a parameter for it.

    replaceZeros = ['coalesce("{0}",0) as "{0}"'.format(destColumn["columns"]) for destColumn in destColumns]
    replaze0 = ','.join(replaceZeros)

What should I do here to make null values show up instead of '0'

Thanks for the great function and any help.

Next project for me is to pivot varchar fields.
