If the database is to be nothing more than a data dump then the data dump crowd could (should?) use a simple structure such as the dBase file structure. Why would you want to buy a Ferrari if you only plan to drive it at 20 mph (that's 30 kph for you continental types).

The only rule that a developer should always follow is that you should always keep your options open. Do the right work where the most benefit can be achieved.
