Hello,

Here is a newbie DataImportHandler question:

Currently, I have entities with entities.  There are some 
situations where a column value from the outer entity is null, and when I try 
to use it in the inner entity, the null just gets replaced with an 
empty string.  That in turn causes the SQL query in the inner entity to 
fail.

This seems like a common problem, but I couldn't find any solutions or mention 
in the FAQ ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandlerFaq )

What is the best practice to avoid or convert null values to something safer?  
Would 
this be done via a Transformer or is there a better mechanism for this?

I think the problem I'm describing is similar to what was described here:

... except I don't have the luxury of rewriting the SQL selects.

Thanks,
Otis
