Description

While I understand the difference between NULL and empty, for the vast majority of users NULL=empty.

Is this the intended behavior or is a bug? if is not considered a bug than I would suggest add a "not empty" option.

History

It was implemented in a database compliant way, so it definitely is "expected behavior".

I think that this could possibly also be improved a lot by changing the behavior of the TextEdit widget which at the moment makes it very easy to get to a "empty" (accepted) value, whereas it should make this very hard and "by default" be NULL on empty.

ok, this becomes a feature request then

agree, or as I said add a "not empty" option
