Looks like a bug in "ZSQLRelayDA.db".

  Apparently, it passes SQL decimal values to Python's "decimal" module --
  even if the SQL value is "Null" (almost surely mapped to Python's "None").
  For obvious reasons, "decimal" does not like to convert "None"
  into a "decimal" value.

  "ZSQLRelayDA.db" should test for "None" and call the "decimal"
  constructor only for non "None" values.
