| I've been looking around and trying to figure out how to add a non-empty constraint to my email field in SQL 2005. I can't find the syntax on how you'd add that. |

| Yest you can specify the column as NOT NULL.In addition, if you also want to elliminate blank strings then you can add a check constraint:ALTER TABLE myTableADD CONSTRAINT CC_myVarchar CHECK (myVarchar <> ''); |
