Using the out of the box SmartObject SQL broker, is there any way to insert the Empty String value instead of a NULL value in the SQL table in SmartForms? Even if I use an expression to set the value to the EmptyString, it still tries to insert a NULL value into the table. (The string column in the table does not allow nulls.)

O,
Have you tried double tick marks? if you execute the following statement, I believe it will instert an empty string into col1: INSERT INTO testtable(col1, col2, col3) values ('', 'foo', 2);
So, instead of the expression putting in the empty string...change it to tick marks.
If it inserts the tick marks as data, you might need to setup a stored procedure to fire that insert if your data source is empty.

We have the same issue here. What was your resolution?
We require a string rather than a null as we later filter a grid based on a like clause.
Dear ,
