当我们在Django中添加模型字段时,我们通常这样写:

models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)

ForeignKey, DecimalField等也是如此。两者的基本区别是什么:

null = True只 空白= True只 null=True, blank=True

对于不同的(CharField, ForeignKey, ManyToManyField, DateTimeField)字段?使用选项1、2或3的优点/缺点是什么?


当前回答

简单来说就是答案:-

通过null = True,我们告诉数据库模型的这个字段可以为null,通过blank = True,我们告诉Django模型的这个字段可以为null

其他回答

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。

正如Django Model Field reference中所说:Link

Field options The following arguments are available to all field types. All are optional. null Field.null If True, Django will store empty values as NULL in the database. Default is False. Avoid using null on string-based fields such as CharField and TextField because empty string values will always be stored as empty strings, not as NULL. If a string-based field has null=True, that means it has two possible values for "no data": NULL, and the empty string. In most cases, it’s redundant to have two possible values for "no data"; the Django convention is to use the empty string, not NULL. For both string-based and non-string-based fields, you will also need to set blank=True if you wish to permit empty values in forms, as the null parameter only affects database storage (see blank). Note When using the Oracle database backend, the value NULL will be stored to denote the empty string regardless of this attribute blank Field.blank If True, the field is allowed to be blank. Default is False. Note that this is different than null. null is purely database-related, whereas blank is validation-related. If a field has blank=True, form validation will allow entry of an empty value. If a field has blank=False, the field will be required.

这就是ORM在Django 1.8中映射空白和空字段的方法

class Test(models.Model):
    charNull        = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=True)
    charBlank       = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True)
    charNullBlank   = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=True, blank=True)

    intNull         = models.IntegerField(null=True)
    intBlank        = models.IntegerField(blank=True)
    intNullBlank    = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)

    dateNull        = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    dateBlank       = models.DateTimeField(blank=True)
    dateNullBlank   = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)        

为PostgreSQL 9.4创建的数据库字段是:

CREATE TABLE Test (
  id              serial                    NOT NULL,

  "charNull"      character varying(10),
  "charBlank"     character varying(10)     NOT NULL,
  "charNullBlank" character varying(10),

  "intNull"       integer,
  "intBlank"      integer                   NOT NULL,
  "intNullBlank"  integer,

  "dateNull"      timestamp with time zone,
  "dateBlank"     timestamp with time zone  NOT NULL,
  "dateNullBlank" timestamp with time zone,
  CONSTRAINT Test_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

为MySQL 5.6创建的数据库字段是:

CREATE TABLE Test (
     `id`            INT(11)     NOT  NULL    AUTO_INCREMENT,

     `charNull`      VARCHAR(10) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
     `charBlank`     VARCHAR(10) NOT  NULL,
     `charNullBlank` VARCHAR(10) NULL DEFAULT NULL,

     `intNull`       INT(11)     NULL DEFAULT NULL,
     `intBlank`      INT(11)     NOT  NULL,
     `intNullBlank`  INT(11)     NULL DEFAULT NULL,

     `dateNull`      DATETIME    NULL DEFAULT NULL,
     `dateBlank`     DATETIME    NOT  NULL,
     `dateNullBlank` DATETIME    NULL DEFAULT NULL
)
Blank=False # this field is required.
Null=False # this field should not be null

Blank=True # this field is optional.
Null=True # Django uses empty string (''), not NULL.

注意: 避免在基于字符串的字段上使用null=True,例如CharField和TextField和FileField/ImageField。

参考:Django null, Django空白

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。
