Description:
------------
DB_DataObject 1.7.15:

I'd love to see the default validation code do more than just check for string or number:

* Check to make sure that the field length doesn't exceed the allowed length.
* Validate that non-null field data is not null.

The database structure has all the information needed to do this validation.

Also, would it be possible for a validation method to extend the default validation? In other words, I'd like to have all the default validation plus some special field-specific validation.
