Thank you John R. Pierce. Finally someone who understands the purpose of this thread. Otherwise, next thing you know, we'll have Web apps/developers designing bra's for milk cows so they'll look better in the field. :)

And again, I am talking about _database_ design, not Web apps. Letting Web developers design a database to work with their app, is a very, Very, VERY bad idea.
It is far better to let DBA's and "database develeopers" design a good database, then to let those apps mold a db into a non-optimum design.
if you let the app drive the database design, you tend to end up with a database which is only useful to that single app, and likely breaks when that app changes.
