What's wrrong with using
a <> ''
Nothing, I just thought of the other way first :)
I would do a CHECK (trim(a) <> '')
Whitespaces are values too, you know.
Yes, I know. But e.g. for a real people name, would you store
accidentally entered spaces before or after the actual name, too?
Which would also ruin sorting by name. But of course, it doesn't
make sense in every case.
