today i discover the java.sql "ResultSet.wasNull()" API, which tells you whether the last thing you got from the ResultSet is null. Fun pattern where java hands you a landmine and then a tool to defuse it

the following wonky code:
var eventLabel = resultSet.getString("label")
if (resultSet.wasNull()) {
eventLabel = "not found"
}
