[Opensource] Fix for quoteIfNeeded method in DBObject

[Kris Thompson]

I don't think is the fix.  The core problem is around this piece of code 
in the same method

 if (oneField.isNumericType()) {
            if (fieldValue.equals("")) {
                return "0";
            }

If the column is nullable and the value is "" then this code is going to 
set it to 0.  If this was a non-nulluable field I would be OK with it 
but sometimes 0 mean something like if this were a ID field.  So when I 
want to set it to "" make it null NOT 0.  Like this

 if ( isNumericType( oneField.getTypeString() ) ) {
            if ( fieldValue.equals( "" ) && oneField.allowsNull() ) {
                return null;
            } else {
                if ( fieldValue.equals( "" ) ) {
                    return "0";
                }
                return fieldValue.trim();
            }
        }
