What about temporary tables - is there any reason they shouldn't be able to
modify a temporary table?

What about indices?  Will twiddling the nullability break indices on a table
in any way?

And foreign keys - foreign keys only have to reference UNIQUE, right?  The
nullability isn't an issue?

Lastly - in a multicolumn primary key, does EVERY column in the key need to
be NOT NULL?
