Why is ''(empty) not equal to null? Its a major headache when porting
from other RDBMS like Oracle. Anyone knows any easy workarounds?
i.e. if you use: create table tbl (
c1 varchar(5));
insert into tbl values ('');
select * from tbl where c1 is null; will return
zero rows.
Also try this: select TO_DATE('','DD-MM-YY'); and
this TO_DATE('','DD-Mon-YY');
