ST_CONFIG and Default Values

 

By default, for _YN fields with NULL value are considered to be equivalent to N value. However, to simplify the SPM Advanced Cost feature, a corresponding setting can be set to make SPM treat NULL value as Y.

 

 

The STRING_VALUE field should contain the desired NULL replacement value. It can be NULL, Y, or N.
