i've seen this no NULL's allowed OCD thing being taken to extremessay you sign up a customer today and promise some service that will be done in the near future but you're not sure of the date. since the column is not null you have to put in a crazy date like 1/1/2049. or if something was done in the past then 1/1/1901
so if a customer calls in a few days the CSR will happily tell them they can expect to see someone come to their site in 2049
Yep. You can also end up in jail after asking the officer "Is this a joke?" after he informs you your driver's license was suspended almost 50 years before you were born. The suspension date was entered as 11/11/11 and the year was circa 1985, when I was in my 20's. The officer was so stupid he didn't know what he had just said.
