Re: 2.0.6: "Required=True" not enforced by DAL?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

required=True means that a value must be provided. For a string merk='' is a value.

I have created simple table:

db.define_table('hoortoestel',

Field('merk', type='string', required=True, ), 

Field('type', type='string', required=True, ),

When trying to enter a new record in appadmin I noticed that when not entering anything in either field, the new record data is accepted and entered into the (SQLlite) database. I think that's a bug. 

If I change the required constraint to notnull=True, the empty record is indeed rejected, as expected.
