I can say it. In fact, I think anybody who has worked with the two
products WILL say it.

I am fairly certain Jacques Roy touches on this very subject here:

"Indexing" section discussion about R-trees.)

did i mention i like nulls? heck, i even go so far as to say that all
columns in a table except the primary key could/should be nullable. this
has certain advantages, for example, if you need to insert a child record
and you don't have a parent row for it, just do an insert into the parent
table with the primary key value (everything else null), and voila,
relational integrity is preserved. but this is, admittedly, a bit
controversial among modellers.
