I've run into a small issue with mdb2.
I have a mysql database with a field set to longtext not null.
inserting "" into that field works just dandy when using the mysql_
functions.
However, when using mdb2 - it converts "" to NULL which is NOT what
I want to have happen, and the result is that the execute() fails
because the database table does not accept NULL for that field.
Why does mdb2 turn "" into NULL for a text type when MySQL knows
there is a difference? How do I suppress that?

Why not set a default in the field then, as am empty string and let
the db handle field properly? Having a Not Null with no default is bad
db design.
