I for one will say your right. Just because the application is suppose to be used in a particular manner does not mean that it always will be or that someone will not come around through the back door to "patch" something. Also since I'm a firm believer in data having a birth, life, retirement, and death how do you cleanup without leaving orphans laying around? Sure is nice to smack the record in the master table and have the foreign keys cascade the delete for you.

Hi all:

We have a situation where are no relationships are defined at the database level. i.e no foreign keys constraints have established at the Database. The application is still at the Development Stage.

Everything is controlled at the application level.

I as the DBA appose this design for Data security and also cannot reverse engineer from the tables into Designer.

Can you please share you pros / Cons.

Thanks
