See my reply to Walter

>b) NULL is a Developer limit, not a programming limit.

If you happen to like testing for NULLs ...

>c) If you abandon NULL into SQL Server, you remove 50% of SQL Server power.

NULLS are "power" ? 50 % ?

NULLs are NOT "information" ... they signify a lack, or absence, of data / information.

Only "information" is "power" ...

IMO :)
