Thats not what you said at all. You said "A unique constraint should accept
only one NULL value" and also "the standard says one null at most" which is
*not* what the SQL standard says from what I've read. You said its not worth
discussing since the SQL standard doesn't allow multiple nulls when there is
a unique constraint but I'm saying that the standard says you can have
multiple nulls when using a unique clause. So not only the standard but also
other databases I've used work this way so it would be nice to change it in
Firebird.
