Save us from the Purists
I am so glad you are not working for me. Of course you want to sacrifice "correctness" for performance, because the "correctness" you are promoting is artificial. A correct solution is one that meets the business requirements and is maintainable.

Have you ever heard of data warhousing, or a dimensionally modeled schema? That should be enough to throw you into fits.

Despite the academic purist definition of an RDBMS that you ascribe to, the vast majority of knowledge workers in the industry have a different and more practical one.

Maybe ask youself this question: If purely-relational databases provide so much advantage in meeting real-world requirements, why isn't there a successful implementation of one in wide use?
