That's really up to interpretation.
The database is the only place the data is stored, and as such is the
only place that can constrain that data in all places.
If you're accepting data from a web form or something you certainly want
it to also check things, so the user gets immediate feedback. But for
anything you need to guarantee, you need to use the database.
