Description: ADO Field.Attributes reports NULL on NOT NULL fields
Details:
In ADO, the nullability of a field can be tested against its Attributes
property. Another option is to examine the Schema. As shown below, the
Attributes property of a NOT NULL field indicates it is nullable while the
Schema reports that it is not.
ADO Code:
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "Driver={PostgreSQL
ANSI};Server=localhost;Database=clinic;UID=clinic;PWD=c0nner99"
conn.Execute "DROP TABLE test"
conn.Execute "CREATE TABLE test (f1 INT NOT NULL)"
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "test", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdTableDirect
Response.Write ((rs(0).Attributes And adFldIsNullable) = adFldIsNullable) &
"<br>"
rs.Close
Set rs = conn.OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns,Array(Empty,Empty,"test","f1"))
Response.Write rs("IS_NULLABLE")
rs.Close
conn.Close
-- OUTPUT --
True
False

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
