How can I avoid NULLs in my database, while also representing missing data?

Everybody's talking and no one except dportas and Walter can even understand the question. Ok, so 95% of the people on SO do not understand The Null Problem, and feel threatened because their databases are full of Nulls, they want to convert the seeker. Priceless.

How is anyone going to learn when they are arguing?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
