Re: Oracle NULL vs '' revisited

Thanks Thomas.

Not very intuative compared to the SQL Server books online and MSDN, no menu on the left so it's hard to find stuff with masses and masses of scrolling - oh well.

It does give me a point of reference to more understand how DA has gone wrong on his dissing of SQL Server paper he's wrote.

INSTEAD OF trigger makes a good read - only available on views and you can't write the old / new values; I guess that's another thing he'll have to change - SQL 2000 + has instead of triggers on either a view or a table and you can write to anything you want.

Tony.
