Debian bug: does saslpasswd2 still try to set literal 'NULL'?

[Roberto C. Sanchez]

Hello,

Another Debian bug that was reported [0] mentions that when using the
SQL module, setting the password with saslpasswd2 result in the password
being set to the string literal 'NULL' instead of the actual NULL.  Can
someone confirm if this is sill the case?  I perused the source code in
utils/saslpasswd.c and also the code in plugins/sql.c for 2.1.22.  It
appears that at sql.c:61, there is a statement setting SQL_NULL_VALUE to
the string "NULL".  Could that be the source of the problem?  Does it
need any additional quoting or escaping?  (Sorry, I am not an expert on
SQL).

Regards,

-Roberto
