Does null take up the same amount of storage as an empty string? If one has a table and stores an empty string in place of NULL for elements that were left blank on a Web form, does that increase storage requirements? Or does having the column already defined mean that storage was already allocated, and empty and NULL have the same storage requirements? I suppose it is different for CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT and so forth..
