i am able to insert the value in table , while my column is set on not null.

as for exmaple :

I had created table with given query :

create table uniq (id int primary key, name varchar(50) unique ,address varchar(50) not null , state varchar (50) default "Bihar" , age int check (age<=18));

then i tried to insert the given value :

insert into  uniq  values(6,"p",'',"mumbai",17);

here my address column is already set on not null , but here i am able to execute this query , and able to see the value as NULL while running select query.

you guys should add one file tab, where someone can add screenshots.

Thanks

Hi Mr. kumar,

Thank you for your bug report.

However, this is not a bug.

These is the result that we get:

select * from uniq;
+----+------+---------+--------+------+
| id | name | address | state  | age  |
+----+------+---------+--------+------+
|  6 | p    |         | mumbai |   17 |
+----+------+---------+--------+------+

Problem is that you have set `address` column as NOT NULL. However, you have not inserted NULL in it, but a blank. A blank string is a very valid string.

If you have tried to insert NULL, you would have got this :

insert into  uniq  values(6,"p",NULL,"mumbai",17);
ERROR 1048 (23000): Column 'address' cannot be null

Not a bug.

Hi,

SELECT CHAR_LENGTH(address) AS address_length FROM uniq;

when you'll run rhis query you can get the size of address , which is ZERO.
which means here value is NULL.

so this instertion should not possible, cause i am giving null value which should not be acceptable.

so this is BUG(functionality should not be affect any how).

Thanks

Hi Mr. kumar,

For your information, the empty string has a size of 0 (zero).

This is SQL, not a C programming language, so '\0' is not counted at all.

Not a bug.
