Hi all,
what is the value stored in a varchar() column by:
update tab1 set col1 = '' ?
It can be selected the same way (select * from tab1 where col1 = ''

But..

..select cast(col1 as varchar(128) character set octets) from tab1

..doesn't show anything (even not <NULL> or hex low value)!?!

Regards, Christoph
