When the db table wp_1_links is created (and of course wp_2_links, etc...) the field link_notes is defined as NOT NULL.
But the following inserts, at least the "install" ones, does't provide any value.
INSERT INTO 'wp_1_links' ('link_url','link_name','link_owner','link_rss') VALUES ('http://wordpress.com/','WordPress.com','1','http://wordpress.com/feed/')
Is that correct?
