Alesandro: Thanks for link, but this does not quite solve the issue.
1. I don't want user to decide how data gets stored in database. That's my
(developer) decision.
2. There are other text fields which stores data as text in database - e.g.
URLField and even the FileField.

I had the same problem to solve, and I made this app to solve the problem
https://github.com/alepane21/django-nullablecharfield.
On the "widget level" it adds to the right of the field a checkbox to click
to set the value to None/NULL.

Augustin's correct :)
If I could suggest a solution, I would like to have a `null=False` argument
on form fields. I believe this would fix the problems noted above and be
sort of backwards-compatible. When using model forms, the argument would be
set according to the `null` attribute of the res

At the model layer, yes.
But if you're using a ModelForm — like the admin does — then you need some
code to convert empty strings to None. I believe that's the problem

Setting null=True in the field definition and doing model.field = None
doesn't do this?
If you create a gist or a paste with a sample code would help understand
better.

Hi everybody,
I know this was here before, but it is really a problem. We need (I
literally mean need, not just want) a simple way to store NULL in database
