It *IS* a PHP topic for the simple reason that almost every PHP program
accesses a database, and most databases are designed by the programmer
him/herself. What I have attempted to do in my article is identify those
design decisions which are not actually as good as the designer thinks they
are. Bad designs cause the programmer to write extra code which should not
be necessary. If you follow good design practices you can end up writing
less code, or even have that code generated for you so that you don't even
have to write it. Which do you think is the better idea - writing
unnecessary code, or having that code generated for you?
This should be a topic of interest for all programmers in general, and PHP
programmers in particular (after all, I have been designing and developing
business applications using PHP for the last 10 years or so).
Instead of your usual personal attacks why don't you show the depth of your
intelligence and experience by actually responding to the 14 points
contained in my article? Or is that beyond your capabilities?
