How do you handle NULL values? the postgresql::row_set_imp::get() function doesn't seem to account for NULL, which would crash strlen(), atof() etc.

In DTL, Paul Harris actually just created a version of boost::optional to handle NULL values which worked very well as a way to read and write types that could be null. He also did mappings of the boost::posix_time class and we also used a version of the boost:variant class to provide dynamically bound types (where you don't know the types until runtime).
