We've been batting this around in the office as well. I wish I knew
what the absolute correct behavior would be in this situation.

An observation that might be insightful is if I can figure out how

setString(1,null);

differs from

setNull(1,java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);

...

When connected using stringtype=unspecified it would seem to me that
the two should behave the same way. What do you think?
