Imho yes. The syntax CREATE TABLE table (field type NULL) has no sense
the NULL keyword may be used on a DEFAULT clause (if you want to specify
a default value)
or on a column constraint (if you want to avoid data integrity
violation).
1) Column Constraint definition: [ CONSTRAINT name ] NOT NULL
2) Default clause: DEFAULT NULL
