简单地说，

Blank和null不同。

Null是纯粹与数据库相关的，而blank是与验证相关的(表单要求)。

如果null=True, Django将在数据库中存储空值为null。如果字段有blank=True，表单验证将允许输入空值。如果一个字段有blank=False，该字段将是必需的。

在模型中null=True和blank=True的含义还取决于这些字段在表单类中的定义方式。

假设你已经定义了以下类:

class Client (models.Model):
    name = models.CharField (max_length=100, blank=True)
    address = models.CharField (max_length=100, blank=False)

如果表单类是这样定义的:

class ClientForm (ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Client
        fields = ['name', 'address']
        widgets = {
            'name': forms.TextInput (attrs = {'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}),
            'address': forms.TextInput (attrs = {'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'})
        }

然后，'name'字段将不是强制性的(由于模型中的空白=True)， 'address'字段将是强制性的(由于模型中的空白=False)。

然而，如果ClientForm类是这样定义的:

class ClientForm (ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Client
        fields = ['name', 'address']

    name = forms.CharField (
        widget = forms.TextInput (attrs = {'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}),
    )
    address = forms.CharField (
        widget = forms.TextInput (attrs = {'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}),
    )

然后，这两个字段('name'和'address')将是强制性的，“因为声明式定义的字段保持原样”(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/forms/modelforms/)，即表单字段的'required'属性的默认值为True，这将要求字段'name'和'address'被填充，即使在模型中，字段已被设置为blank=True。

|| blank = True || null = True && blank = True

class TestModel(models.Model):
    field1 = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
    field2 = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)   # it's not a correct way
    field3 = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)

数据库字段:MySQL

CREATE TABLE TestModel (
     `id`        INT(10)        NOT     NULL      AUTO_INCREMENT,

     `field1`    VARCHAR(100)   NULL    DEFAULT   NULL,
     `field2`    VARCHAR(100)   NOT     NULL,
     `field3`    VARCHAR(100)   NULL    DEFAULT   NULL,
)

case-01: null = True

db:   db   field is accepts null value
form: form field is `required`

NB: DB IS ACCEPTS NULL VALUE, BUT FORM FIELD IS REQUIRED. SO FORM IS 
SUBMITTED WHEN THIS FIELD HAVE SOME VALUE. it's good.

case-02: blank = True

db:   db   field is not accepts null value
form: form field is `optional`

NB: FORM IS VALID WITHOUT ANY VALUE, BUT DB IS NOT ACCEPTS NULL VALUE.
SO THE FORM IS SUBMITTED WITHOUT ANY VALUE THEN BOOM. it's worst.

case-03: null = True && blank = True

db:   db   field is accepts null value
form: form field is `optional`

NB: HERE FORM FIELD IS OPTIONAL & FORM IS VALID WITHOUT ANY VALUE 
& DB ALSO ACCEPTS NULL VALUE. SO, IT'S BEST TO USE `null=True && blank=True`

:)

null=True和blank=True是django.db.models中的字段属性。Null是与数据库相关的，而空白是与验证相关的。

null

默认值为null=False。如果null=False, Django将不允许在数据库列中使用null值。

如果null=True, Django会将数据库列中的空值存储为null。对于CharField和TextField, django将使用空字符串"而不是NULL。避免为CharField和TextField使用空属性。一个例外是，当CharField具有unique=True和blank=True时，则需要null=True。

空白

默认为空白=False。如果blank=False，该字段将是必需的。

如果blank=True，该字段是可选的，可以留空。blank=True和null=False将需要在模型上实现clean()以编程方式设置任何缺失的值。
