He'd probably tell you that I like to pull his chain (in good fun) now and then with scenarios like these which are far and away the exception, and by no means the rule. The above example is a real system, not a pie-in-the-sky example, but it's also not a very common setup, and defies much conventional wisdom. How big a database are you talking about in your original question?
