@Abba: Thanks for your comment, and yes, that is a possible solution. Personally, I don’t like it to add such a dummy field to a table to avoid a bug in the used framework…

I have run into this before ( quite some time ago ) but if I remember correctly – I simply added a field that I never needed a value in to the table. I made sure I didn’t require a value for it in any validation and defaulted it to null.

That worked for me. YMMV.

@The Mullet: Thanks for your question!

The reason I use such a table is that a User can have multiple OpenIDs to login, i.e. multiple OpenIDs are tied to one user account.

I hope with this short explanation it is more clear what the idea is ;-)

I don’t get the idea why you tried this in the first place: creating an entry just to see when you did it ?
