Without the data you wouldn't have an application. Without data integrity
you end up with a heaping pile of bits. Without data integrity you have
performance problems. (eg optimizer has to make unwarrented assumptions
about your data) Tell me, do you just use one data type in Java, Strings?
Of course not. So why would you do the same in the db? Do you only have 1
class in Java, class generic? Of course not. So why would you do the same
in the db?
