Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: null values
Oracle will store a null value in the column, but the cleanest method is to
use the NULL keyword instead of the 2 apostrophes. That way, when the code
is read, there is no confusion as to what is being stored.

hi all
when i insert a value '' in a varchar2 field with nulls allowed this value is stored as a NULL value, is this correct ? the developers are not aware of this behavior and they think oracle will store a SPACE.
