The article read like it is written by someone who has never understood how to use a SQL database.<p>To quote Mr Torvalds himself:<p>&quot;Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.&quot;<p>Something that i struggled with before i learned how to use a SQL&#x2F;relational database was to actualy use the database relations in my code. I first specified the relations in the database then i basicly redid them in the code.<p>The way i tend to program these days is to have basically all my relations restrictions and relational rules in the database.
Whenever i want to change something you just alter stuff in the database GUI.
Most of the application code will just follow along.
