I'm sorry, but if I tell my DB to only accept dates into a column, that does 
NOT imply "if I don't give you a date, make it one."

One of the biggest reasons to use a DB in the first place is to hand off the 
data consistency checking to it!  If I can't trust it to do that what's the 
point?  A DB has a lot of overhead and resources that it takes away from the 
rest of my system...  if I have to check over its shoulder constantly I may 
as well be doing everything myself.
