Oh, another thing - sometimes one item on such a list, say the one about generated keys, is promoted by so-called db or rm experts and the naive user concludes that the other items are also db or rm requirements, which they are not.

For example, while I think it is okay to carry around a mental checklist of possible bad things to look for, if only to prompt critical inspection of a system or design, I think it is really irresponsible to mention them in a book about SQL!
