Inserting nulls - 8.1.5. to 7.1.5 via synonyms

We have a 8.1.5(Sun) database with many synoyms pointing to a 7.1.5(OpenVMS) database which actually contains the tables. We are having problems inserting nulls through an insert statement on the 8.1.5(SUN) to the 7.1.5(OpenVMS) tables. We can insert nulls in any number field, only varchar2's are giving us a problem. We are temporarily using a single space instead of a null.(ugh!) The nvl() function when used on 8.1.5 in a select statement pointing through the same synonyms also do not work. Has anyone heard of or seen this strange behavior of nulls, insert statements and nvl()? Received on Tue Aug 24 1999 - 14:23:20 CDT
