Jonathan,

This behavior is partly because ANSI standard states that treatment of NULL is implementation specific.

You're kidding! The above is really in the Oracle docs? Oracle treats zero-length strings as nulls and yet recommends against us doing likewise? How, pray tell, are we to avoid treating empty strings as nulls, since that's the way the Oracle software works?
