Hi,
I am trying to fill a certain field of a persistent object with "NULL" but it does not work out... How can I do this. Filling the field with a "0" value works fine.

From func definition

"expires" => array(  'name' => "Expires",
                                                              'datatype' => 'integer',
                                                              'default' => null,
                                                              'required' => false )
                                                               )

Code that does not work for me to insert null data in db...

$mypersistentobject = new mypersistentobject( $row )
$mypersistentobject->setAttribute( 'expires', null );
$mypersistentobject->store();

thx

Hi Björn

I've had a brief look at the storeObject() function of the eZPersistentObject class and it does not appear possible to achieve what you want without patching the eZPersistentObject class or overriding the storeObject() function in your class.

Hi,

this problem still exists, does it? Sometimes it is necessary to store NULL in persistent objects' attributes.

Is there an issue reported within the issue tracker?

Cheers
Jean
