Mysql - DEFAULT '' defined yet NULL inserted


Greetings,

My database was inserting NULL for empty strings so I changed the field
definition with this query:

ALTER TABLE `myTable` CHANGE `myUrl` `myUrl` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL
DEFAULT ''

No error was reported following the query and yet I still get NULLs on
insertions.
Any ideas?

Try doing a "DESCRIBE myTable;" and see what it gives you for the
"myUrl" field.
