Tell your teacher to stop showing you problems with poorly designed databases.I think that this is major cause of poorly designed tables in the real world. The teachers harp on normalization and then they give garbage like this as an example. Nothing like teaching bad practices as the student is learning. Makes it harder to understand later why that is so bad.
I agree, but then again it gives me more jobs to do after they've put the code to work in prod!
