I think our practices are closer than you realize. Maybe I didn't explain myself well. The idea that troubles me is including more strict constraints in the database than in the application itself, because that indicates the application isn't fully tested. If the application is well tested, then it doesn't matter where the logic resides, db or app, so there's no standing to the claim that application logic is never enough. Also, there are many kinds of data. Transactions, sure, reject if it doesn't match. Telemetry data, I'd like to hang on to it regardless of how weird it seems.
