I'm not following this one. Are you referring to an audit trail?
No - meaning if update the database schema, data will be missing that wasn't collected properly the first time. (If you didn't think you needed customer hierarchies, you didn't create them as customers came in)
I hear you on avoiding over-generalizing. That creates problems too.
- lloyd-christmas 10y ago> data will be missing that wasn't collected properly the first time Maybe I'm nitpicking but even if you had that field in the database, it's still up to the application to collect it (unless it's something like a timestamp, but that's just a dumb mistake regardless of how you design your database)
- mathattack 10y agoYes - I think we both agree.
