I agree with putting data integrity constraints in the DB - its hard to 
see what is better than that.

The main issue I see, particularly if an ORM is involved, is the 
difficulty of getting user-understandable error messages back to the user 
who caused the constraint violation.

Is this a serious issue or have I missed something, like the fact that 
all ORMs throw understandable exceptions?

Agreed. I try to centralize error handling that but is often harder than 
it appears at first, especially if the errors should contain reason and 
localisation information. Providing the latter can easily distort the 
business logic.

Agreed - provided there's a clean way to get a clear description of the 
error back to the user.
