Nullable types - useful for databases?

Before .NET 2.0, if you wanted to choose a value that represented null, you had to fall back on the xxx.MinValue or xxx.MaxValue and then convert this value to NULL once the information was hitting the database. In order to make it easier, Microsoft thought that it was helpful to allow value types to be assigned null and therefore just plonk the value straight into database - correct!? Well ..... sort of. Read this article for more info.
