Description:
The return value of NdbRecAttr::isNull() method should be (extract from doc)
-1 = Not defined (Failure or NdbTransaction::execute not yet called)
0 = Attribute value is defined, but not equal to NULL.<br>
1 = Attribute value is defined and equal to NULL.

But a call to
   NdbOperation::getValue(...), isNull() 
on the NdbRecAttr returned give 0 although execute() hasn't been called yet.

How to repeat:
see attached test program csc8750.tar.gz

Hi,

I would say that the documentation is wrong.

isNULL will return unspecified value if called before execute.

Is this ok, or a big limitation?
