Likely correct. This doesn't really help too much if you don't have 
check-constraints tho. Having them in separate tables has the benefit 
that you don't need to store the empties for fields that aren't 
applicable, and you can add a new type of account without having to frob 
the big table. Of course, if it's easy to enforce data consistency one 
way and not the other, that pretty much trumps things. :-)
