I have some fields which can be (SQL) NULL. If they are filled they are
varchar, but they're not necessary, so they could be NULL.
Compiling gives me an error though:

c:\mysql++\include\null.h(206) : error C2593: 'operator =' is ambiguous

I have declared the following:

typedef mysqlpp::Null<mysqlpp::sql_varchar> Nullstr;

static Nullstr vVoornamen = mysqlpp::null; //gave the variable a value
trying to avoid the error

What am I doing wrong?
