In postgres, to stop an empty blank string:

create table a(a text not null check (char_length(a) > 0));

What's wrrong with using

a <> ''

sd the check? Or is this just a flavour thing?

Nothing, I just thought of the other way first :)

Probably better doing it as a <> '' otherwise postgres might have to run the char_length function every time you do an insert (ie might be a very slight performance issue).


I would do a CHECK (trim(a) <> '')
