I'd recommend
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-data-integrity.html as
an intro for anyone who wants to catch up on the current state of MySQL
data validation compared to how it used to be.  It's really not so bad
nowadays if you use the strict_all_tables feature.  They still have the
open issue of some older apps not working if you toggle this on, so it's
not the default, but "good enough" validation is there.
