+### Implementation Summary
+
+**Test File**: `test/null-text-blob.test.ts`
+
+- Created comprehensive tests for NULL and zero-length TEXT values
+- Tests cover object mode (`.get()`), array mode (`.all()`), and iterator mode
+- All 12 tests passing
+
+**Fix Applied**: `src/sqlite_impl.cpp` lines 2116-2123 and 2173-2180
+
+- Added NULL check before `Napi::String::New()` in both array and object modes
+- Returns empty string when `sqlite3_column_text()` returns NULL
+- Includes explanatory comment about OOM/encoding error conditions
+
+**Result**: Defensive NULL handling prevents potential crashes on OOM or encoding errors while maintaining backward compatibility.

+
+- Created comprehensive tests for NULL and zero-length BLOB values
+- Tests cover object mode (`.get()`), array mode (`.all()`), and iterator mode
+- Discovered that SQLite treats zero-length BLOBs as NULL (expected behavior)
+- All 12 tests passing
+
+**Fix Applied**: `src/sqlite_impl.cpp` lines 2125-2135 and 2182-2192
+
+- Added NULL check before `Napi::Buffer::Copy()` in both array and object modes
+- Combined with existing `blob_size == 0` check: `if (!blob_data || blob_size == 0)`
+- Returns empty buffer when NULL or zero-length
+- Includes explanatory comment about zero-length BLOB and OOM conditions
+
+**Result**: Defensive NULL handling prevents undefined behavior when copying from NULL pointer while maintaining backward compatibility.
