JdbcJobInstanceDao

[KristanM]

Is there any particular reason why the JdbcJobInstanceDao doesn't write nulls to the parameter columns not in use in the insertParameter method when writing them to the BATCH_JOB_PARAMS database table?

I've had to write a customised version for our DB setup and I'm using the same table structure, just wondering if I can write nulls rather than default values or if there's a gotcha waiting for me further down the line.

Thanks!

I think it's a platform thing: one or more of the platforms we supports doesn't like the nulls. I forget the detail, but I'm pretty sure we used to insert nulls and someone complained - you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Excellent, thanks Dave!
