you’re very right, it should be NULL. Added to my TODO list.

You should be using NULL for “dunno” that’s exactly it’s purpose.

Sort of… It’s not meant to be a revision control type system, more of an insight into the engine.

be sure to add in a way to change the version number manually. Its useless to let it increment automatically as multiple ‘ALTER’s can/often happen in a development environment, which consolidate in 1 update on a live environment.

or maybe I’m missing the point..
