    ...a senior database developer colleague of mine described the use of foreign keys as "purely academic" citing that FK's provide little benefit that can't be enforced through procedural or application logic, thus freeing up database developers to affect code changes more quickly...

    Should his full title to be change to "Senior database Cowboy-developer" ? 😉

    Junior cowboy developer I suspect. A senior would know better than this.

    Will argue to death on this:

    "Senior database Cowboy-developer"!

    A junior one, would have no guts to advise others on this...

    :hehe:

    Can we compromise on expert beginner cowboy developer? 😎
