One more thing. If the value is the empty string, then in the View Data
shows it as ''

team,<br><br>Another slight bug (I think):<br><br>I have a table which has

<br>In PgAdmin I have the &quot;Show NULL values as &lt;NULL&gt;&quot;

<br><br>The reason why I think it may not be a bug, is I tried doing
