Selecting NULL to signify something exists breaks my brain a little bit. I really prefer 1 stylistically, even if there is no technical difference.

It works fine for me.. when I'm thinking in sqlese. The bigger travesty here is using SELECT for the tasks which are not selecting (returning data) anything.
Turn the brain 90° from columns to rows and it will be fine.
Yeah. 1 breaks my brain for the same reason probably.
