Craig, No, this is not normal. They have purchased a Caddy so they can push their grandma to the beauty parlor to get her blue-hair done - they will never start the car.
Why in the hell did they purchase Oracle in the first place? Talk about a waste of money! If you cannot stop them now, then run as far away from this project as you can. Over the long term, it will perform not-so-good. Be sure and give them to keys to the car! Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 1:45 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The developers working on our new VB app are also responsible for setting up the Oracle DB behind it. The app is for an order entry/despatch/warehouse system with >5 million customers and >1000 orders per day. We have nearly 400 tables. They are not planning on using primary keys/secondary keys, as they say they will handle all the constraints via VB. I only have a theoretical knowledge of database design, which says this is very wrong. Is the Oracle system being used as anything more than an expensive file system? In real world scenarios, is this a common practice?
