When those techniques relieve duplication.

Suppose 12 of my modules bulldoze the BULLDOZE table. Gee, maybe I should wrap that up in a Bulldoze object and hide all the SQL statements inside that.

Now suppose one little module reads the CONFIG table at startup. Screw it; just hard-code a SELECT statement and don't look back.

The goal is to replace duplicated statements with better design.
