Are NULL in work_email possible ?
If yes you should you have to use.
SELECT first_name,work_email FROM tb_contacts WHERE tb_contacts.work_email <>''
AND tb_contacts.work_email IS NOT NULL;
By the was in Oracle there is no difference between empty
CHAR- or VARCHAR-column and NULL- CHAR or VARCHAR-columns.
But that is scpecial to Oracle.
