Erk! Each to their own.

Where are these empty strings coming from in the first place? Ideally,
and unsurprisingly, I'd much rather have "undef" for "a field value that
hasn't been defined".

To me, and presumably others, '' (blank) means "we know what it is, it's
nothingness".

Can't the incoming data be "fixed" instead of kludging your queries?
