Dealing with strings I encounter 3 common cases
1) NULL (I call this a NULL string)
2) "" (I call this EMPTY string)
3) "<ONE_OR_MORE_WHITESPACE_CHARACTERS>" (I call this BLANK string)
My naming is non-standard but since I encounter these 3 different situations
I have come up with different names for each of them.
It is completely context dependent whether they should be treated the
same or differently.
Of course I have nothing against acting exactly the same way as Oracle
in Oracle mode.
But generally it is not advised.

That's understandable. You have been brainwashed :-)
Anyway, I will increase the priority of this feature request. Patches
are welcome of course! By the way: does Oracle convert empty byte
arrays to NULL as well?

Thanks a lot! I have added the information about VARRAY and byte array
to the roadmap.
