Imagine an annual $50k+ enterprise software package that didn't distinguish between a null and an empty string in valuing critical data. Not noticed for years - wtf?

    Does it also bug out when a user has the last name Null?

    Yes. Total re-write is necessary. Bad legacy code. Who knows how many clients impacted.

    At my former place of employment, they had an ERP system that would check for valid data types in every single field except one, and it would break everything if a non numeric character was entered.
