One more ? - Optionally blank fields?


Recommended Posts

I am going to have a registration form that contains some required fields and some optional fields.

 

When I create the table to hold these values I know the required fields should be set to Not Null.

 

What is the common practice on the optional fields -- do you set them to Null or do you set them to Not Null and put a blank space \' \' in the default value?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi, i\'ll tell you what i\'ve learnt in my University.

 

I try not to use null fields because it could be a problem with some functions and programs. I don\'t know what is the database for but I would work with \'\' or DEFAULTS values.

 

Good luck. :)

 

Aahh, sorry if my english wasn\'t good enough, i speak spanish and i loose a little practice speaking english.
