Hi,
Some of you might have noticed but the wpdb's insert & update methods don't work well with null value (if you try to set null on a numeric field you'll end up with 0)
Here's a fix for it I though I should share
create a db.php file in your wp-content directory and drop this content in:
EDIT:
mmm, the code tag is really annoying in this forum thing..
once you've pasted the code in db.php, replace all the code tags with a back tick.
Alternatively you can download it from here:

<?php
// setup a dummy wpdb to prevent the default one from being instanciated
$wpdb = new stdclass();
// include the base wpdb class to inherit from
include ABSPATH . WPINC . "/wp-db.php";
class wpdbfixed extends wpdb
{
function insert($table, $data, $format = null) {
$formats = $format = (array) $format;
$fields = array_keys($data);
$formatted_fields = array();
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
if ($data[$field]===null)
{
$formatted_fields[] = 'NULL';
continue;
}
if ( !empty($format) )
$form = ( $form = array_shift($formats) ) ? $form : $format[0];
elseif ( isset($this->field_types[$field]) )
$form = $this->field_types[$field];
else
$form = '%s';
$formatted_fields[] = "'".$form."'";
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO <code>$table</code> (<code>" . implode( '</code>,<code>', $fields ) . "</code>) VALUES (" . implode( ",", $formatted_fields ) . ")";
return $this->query( $this->prepare( $sql, $data) );
}
function update($table, $data, $where, $format = null, $where_format = null)
{
if ( !is_array( $where ) )
return false;
$formats = $format = (array) $format;
$bits = $wheres = array();
