Good question, in that case.

I am tending towards the observation that when people refer to the discipline of database systems theory (as disclosed by the writers of database textbooks) the bulk of it refers to the theory leading up to, and immediately prior to implementation of a production concern.

After that, the theory is filed away somewhere and people revert to the use of common sense.

What do you think?
