I have a form where a user enters some numbers into text boxes. Some of the text boxes can be left blank. The business logic receives all variables to all text boxes. Should I :
1.) Validate on the page for the presence of a value, and if not, set the corresponding value to -1 (it will never be this value). Therefore the business logic blindly inserts everything. OR 2.) Do not have the variables that correspond to blank text boxes be set to -1. Have the business logic build a query based on which variables are or are not containing a value. In this case some fields for that row may be null.
