The Django docs suggest "Avoid using null on string-based fields such as CharField and TextField unless you have an excellent reason."
ImageField, EmailField, FileField, FilePathField, IPAddressField, SlugField, URLField, XMLField are also a string-based fields at the db level, so am I right in assuming that null=True is best avoided in these case also, "unless you have an excellent reason."? I am hoping Django has code to deal with the empty string value in these fields. For example, I am hoping that Django understands that an empty string in an ImageField means there is no corresponding image. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
