While it is probably not possible to change how Django treats this, many
newcomers find it super confusing. To make developer experience in our
Oracle-based project better, we started using the following workaround for
fields which are required to be not null and not empty string:
class NonEmptyCharField(models.CharField):
"""
CharField preventing empty string and null
It workarounds two problems:
- CharField has a default value '' which allows silent save of model
without an error even
if we forget to set mandatory fields. This is solved by setting the
default to None causing
db error on not null constraint.
- The above is not sufficient for Oracle as the db backend has
hardcoded null=True regardless
of what we set. This is changed by empty_strings_allowed=False.
"""
empty_strings_allowed = False
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
kwargs.setdefault('default', None)
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
