I disagree completely.
I prefer to have regard to the statement of requirement, which in this case
is a concern over performance. If following conventional design rules
creates performance issues, then performance related issues come first when
considering design.
- personally, I would consider integrity, and then reliability, above
performance. But then 80% of any performance hit is in the application
code. Design a database that gives you confidence in the data it stores
first and foremost.
