A simple check would be:

SELECT jobcomment from tblJobIncharge where id=51 AND jobcomment IS NOT
NULL;

If you get back a row then jobcomment is not null and probably has the
empty string in it ...

To make sure that jobcomment is not '' you can try this query:

SELECT jassignedid, ascii(JobComments) FROM tblJobIncharge WHERE
JobComments IS NOT NULL AND projectid >= 50 AND projectid <= 100

If jobcomment is '' then you will get '0' in the job comment field, if
it is really null then you will get '' (i.e. nothing).

So if you get a 0 it means that you have job comment fields with the
empty string '' in them, they are not null ...
