OK, my turn:  You're a sick puppy!

I'll bet you're just trying to drive their database manager over the 
egde.  Can you imagine:

select spamon, count(accountnumber) from customerdatabase group by spam;

+--------+----------------------+
| spamon | count(accountnumber) |
+--------+----------------------+
|    Y   | 4,345,123            |
|    N   | 0                    |
|  Null  | 1                    |
+--------+----------------------+
