Initializing a field to spaces
Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:16 pm
I recently had a new field added to an existing database segment by our DBA. He told me that this field would automatically be initialize to low-values. Is there a way for the DBA to initialize this new field to 'spaces' rather then 'low-values' at the time when he makes this database changes?
Yes, I know I can write a program to intialize this new field but I was just wondering and there happens to be applications here that will not work if a field has low-values in it.
