        // !! This paragraph explains behaviour before Moodle 2.0:
        //
        // For Oracle DB, empty strings are converted to NULLs in DB
        // and this breaks a lot of NOT NULL columns currently Moodle. In the future it's
        // planned to move some of them to NULL, if they must accept empty values and this
        // piece of code will become less and less used. But, for now, we need it.
        // What we are going to do is to examine all the data being inserted and if it's
        // an empty string (NULL for Oracle) and the field is defined as NOT NULL, we'll modify
        // such data in the best form possible ("0" for booleans and numbers and " " for the
        // rest of strings. It isn't optimal, but the only way to do so.
        // In the opposite, when retrieving records from Oracle, we'll decode " " back to
        // empty strings to allow everything to work properly. DIRTY HACK.

        // !! These paragraphs explain the rationale about the change for Moodle 2.0:
        //
        // Before Moodle 2.0, we only used to apply this DIRTY HACK to NOT NULL columns, as
        // stated above, but it causes one problem in NULL columns where both empty strings
        // and real NULLs are stored as NULLs, being impossible to differentiate them when
        // being retrieved from DB.
        //
        // So, starting with Moodle 2.0, we are going to apply the DIRTY HACK to all the
        // CHAR/CLOB columns no matter of their nullability. That way, when retrieving
        // NULLABLE fields we'll get proper empties and NULLs differentiated, so we'll be able
        // to rely in NULL/empty/content contents without problems, until now that wasn't
        // possible at all.
        //
        // No breakage with old data is expected as long as at the time of writing this
        // (20090922) all the current uses of both sql_empty() and sql_isempty() has been
        // revised in 2.0 and all them were being performed against NOT NULL columns,
        // where nothing has changed (the DIRTY HACK was already being applied).
        //
        // !! Conclusions:
        //
        // From Moodle 2.0 onwards, ALL empty strings in Oracle DBs will be stored as
        // 1-whitespace char, ALL NULLs as NULLs and, obviously, content as content. And
        // those 1-whitespace chars will be converted back to empty strings by all the
        // get_field/record/set() functions transparently and any SQL needing direct handling
        // of empties will need to use the sql_empty() and sql_isempty() helper functions.
