Oops! I meant “More on Databases” of course…

As I’ve mentioned, I deal a lot with database design done by morons, or at least people who somehow didn’t know what they were doing (not that I’m a database genius) but even the little things can bother me. I mean, if you’ve got a table named foo_header and it’s got 40+ fields, and another table named foo_detail and it’s got just 10 fields, doesn’t something seem wrong?

Where I come from, headers usually contain less data than the actual details of something. Maybe it’s just me…
