   I would say that it depends on the business rules. :-) But, yes, it   
   would be a bit peculiar.   
      
   In Northwind CustomerID is nullable, although there is no such order   
   in the data. Unfortunately, Northwind leaves a whole lot desired when it   
   comes to nullability, indexes etc.
