Domains aren't just about data types - they're Domains: that is, a
particular
datatype with/out a check constraint and not null constraint and even a
default value.

In a stored procedure, what would a parameter or variable be when it is
defined as NOT NULL?!

I'd rather have the same construct as Oracle:

Declare a variable as: myvar %EMPLOYEE.EMPNO%

(or something, cannot exactly remember)
