As long as the field allows nulls, then this shouldn't be a problem -
although I'm speaking from SQL Server experience and not Oracle...

> The records of the Employees database table are displayed in an HTML
> table, with an Edit and Delete button in each row. The user clicks Edit
> to display a particular record in an editable form. If the user clears
> the Age field and submits the form, what would the SQL UPDATE statement
> look like?
>
> I don't think this works:
> UPDATE Employees
> SET Age = NULL
> WHERE Id = 2
>
> I could test on FORM.Age and then do "SET Age = -1" if no age was
> specified, but I'd rather not.
