Today, I noticed different empty string behaviour then I am
used to.
Before, empty string was treated as null, so statement
vcResult := 'something' || ''
would result in vcResult = ''.
Today, result of this statement was vcResult = 'something'.
Does anybody know, when (which patchset) did this behaviour
with treating empty strings as null change?

I find myself fascinating.

Seems to work (something+'' = something) in 9.0.1.3.1
It would be somewhat useful for you to tell us the version and patchset
you are on, as well as the OS info.

Not in Oracle... An empty string in Oracle is NULL.
NULL concatenated to s string is that string (nothing more,
nothing less).
I find you less fascinating; you obviously post in the
wrong group.

I'm doing a bcp out of a table to a file. Some of the fields in a
record may have an empty string.
When I bcp out to the file and examine it, the fields that have an
empty string in the database now show up in the file as having one
blank character.
Why is bcp doing this? I don't want the blank character in my output.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I have a continuous form with all records. For each field there is a combo in the form header and the form also contains a Toggle button "Apply Filter".
When clicked, it changes to "Cancel Filter".
Then an SQL string with condition meeting the criteria input in the combo boxes is built.
I have noticed that when certain fields are not filled in (no space, nothing), the record is simply not shown. The empty field is not necessarily...
