Setting null values vs Default or initial values in the Database?
699113Aug 8 2011 — edited Aug 9 2011i am working on a system and i have set any field that might optional as Allow Null,, but this is causing me a lot of troubles especially when i am querying the data or perfoming some calculations from the database. So is it valid if i changed all the Allow null field to have initial values an restricting null values to be inserted into them, so example, to set the initial values for an integer to be 0 and string to be empty?
