You mean a literal string of 'null'?
Why would you do that?

Subject: Null value is string
All,
I need to know if there is a way to insert a character value of 'null' as
a
default for a column:
example: student_name varchar2(10) default 'null'
I have tried this and it works if I update the column values to the string
'null' later:
example: update student set student_name = 'null' where student_name is
null
I know that null is a reserved word but I though that I saw it used
somewhere like this before and just thought I would check with the group
on
this. thanks.
