Hi Marcin,
In these cases previously I've used a SQL trick to implement this, by setting a
default value for the parameter (of a non-existent ID) and adding an OR clause
to the SQL. E.g;
VALIDATION
"default_pid" "-1"
..
WHERE (pid = %pid% OR %pid% = -1)
If no value is provided then the SQL will be WHERE (pid = -1 OR -1 = -1) which
will always return True so all records will return.
