Package: libghc6-hdbc-dev Version: 1.0.1.1 Severity: important Tags: patch It's not possible to compare SqlNull to any other constructor of SqlType.
Prelude Database.HDBC> SqlString "Marco" == SqlNull *** Exception: fromSql: cannot convert SqlNull to String This is specially bad when I want to filter all the SqlNull from a list of SqlTypes. This patch should contain the fix to the problem.
