This is the way Oracle seems to work.
I don't think any other database has this problem.
I don't know any good workarounds.

Subject: JDBC - Servlet problem
Hi.
This may be somewhat more JDBC orientated, but I was hoping that I could
get some help.
I am using Oracle 7 with the JDBC thin drivers.
I have a servlet that updates/displays values from a table.
The problem is that if I have an empty form value
(a string initialized to ""), when I retrieve from the database I get
a value of null.
Is this correct? If so, how do I get an empty value into the database
without returning null? Is NULL the same as the empty string?
Thanks in advance!!
Jason
