I've created a table with several fields, 3 of which are created using
these SQL statements:

[description] [varchar](255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('') COLLATE NOCASE,      

[keywords]    [varchar](255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('') COLLATE NOCASE,      

[metadata]    [varchar](255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('') COLLATE NOCASE);

__________

Subsequent data insertions of empty strings produce the following data:

(null)|(null)|(null)    

__________

It is important in the application this data is associated with to NOT
have any NULL fields. To me, an empty string is not a NULL, only an empty
string, an important distinction. 

How can I prevent the insertion of NULLs into these fields and instead
replace them with empty strings?
