In strict mode, MySQL cannot accept an empty string when a field's "not null" property is set to TRUE. This can cause MySQL errors to be thrown in certain situations.

As far as I know there is no downside to setting 'not null'->FALSE, many CCK core fields do that now.

Patch attached, this is my second patch submission! Let me know if you need anything :)

I added a default = "''" to the database column settings, like it is done in the text module. This fixes the problem, although I didn't write an update script to fix the already existing database columns..
