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?
