RE: JDBC columns blank

I don't know .NET, so I went looking, and it appears that the only difference between myVar = '' and myVar = string.Empty is user preference though you have to use the '' version in switch statements since string.Empty isn't a constant. Seems to be a very religious argument though because some find the first more readable, and others find the other more readable, and if you don't do it my way you are just plain wrong. But using extra memory is not a reason since literal strings are interned in the .Net environment so the most '' constants you will ever have is 1.

Which languages were you thinking of where myVar = '' is a bad practice?
