All your design decisions can have a detrimental or beneficial effect. The word "can"
even is too weak, since the database design is the base of your application.
I don't like the phrasing "code to access the database". What you want to access AND
use is your data.
Maybe I am nitpicking, but precision in wording shows precision in concept. That is
what programmers need.
