Speaking of which:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getColumns(java.lang.String,
java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)


   1. *NULLABLE* int => is NULL allowed.
      - columnNoNulls - might not allow NULL values
      - columnNullable - definitely allows NULL values
      - columnNullableUnknown - nullability unknown

and:


   1. *IS_NULLABLE* String => ISO rules are used to determine the
   nullability for a column.
      - YES --- if the column can include NULLs
      - NO --- if the column cannot include NULLs
      - empty string --- if the nullability for the column is unknown


Doh? Why two ways? I guess the second is better, does not contain "might"
in the non null spec

Cheers
Andrea
