In 6.1 integers (and floats) are no longer allowed to be NULL. I
thought this was a bit high-handed at the time but it has not bitten me
until now.

I want NULL integers so I can have a unique constraint on the ones thatexist

and not care about the ones that don't.
What ugly hack am I going to have to employ to achieve this now?

Incidentally, I tried to ask this on the Q&A web page but it would notlog me

in with Opera or Firefox. Rekonq would not even display the login page.
