Joe,

Don't go away but how about a new years resolution to try and be a bit less aggressive towards newbies and those for whom English is possibly not even a second language.  You have a wealth on knowledge and a passion for 'proper' database structures acquired through many decades of experience.  Some members have inherited bad designs and as junior members may not have the experience, knowledge, gravitas or system credentials to 'fix' the issues as you see them.

A lot of the time the real data cannot be posted either because it is subject to NDA or data security rules like european GDPR protections or the actual domain model is so complex that to post real data would only obfuscate rather than describe the nature of the problem.
