Re: Third Party Application Madness

Re PK's and FK's:

Yes, I was glad to see that at first, but not so sure now, as it seems that this database has been 'normalized' to a point that even I, a dyed in the wool normalization bigot, find extreme.

The 'normalization' is in quotes because I haven't had time see if the schema is actually normalized, or just broken up into a lot more tables.

The abundance of outer joins used tends to point to the latter.
