What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run query which results some NULL values
2. Export results as CSV, ensuring that the 'NULL values:' box contains
something other than 'NULL', for example, a '.' or even leaving it blank.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that the output would contain all the results but that cells
contain NULL would be displayed using the string entered in the dialog box.
Instead, the CSV file always contains the string "NULL".
What version of Sequel Pro are you using? 0.9.9 (build 3348)
What version of MySQL are you connecting to on the server? 5.5.10
Please provide any additional information below.
I want to export results from Sequel Pro and import them into a stats package,
namely Stata. On import Stata detects what information is contained in each
column and sets the variable type accordingly. Consequently, a variable that
contains floating points values, intermingled with the string "NULL" is
detected as a string variable instead of a float. Sequel Pro 0.9.9 has a
feature to determine how NULL values are exported but this doesn't seem to be
working - regardless of what is entered in the export dialog box, the string
"NULL" always appears in the exported file. This is, I think, related to issue
67 which was fixed some time ago. However, I don't think the resulting fix is
the most useful or intuitive implementation.
