MySQL. Relations. Every relation has an id for the FK.
Except one table. Why??

"BECAUSE I LIKE TO SEE THE INFO INSTEAD OF 73"

he is boss. He takes decisions.

Guilty as charged 😅

Ask him to update some of the data and preserve relations.

Or if its using the data as a fk, ask him to make and then remove a duplicate. Oops, broken reference and orphaned data!

On second thought, ask him to stop meddling.

@Ashkin I tried to explain him
That that design for db is wrong

But coo + ceo love him
And he is the new *vp engineer*
Which makes him the knight of shinny armour in the office.
" And he did the db sooo quick!!" (AND WRONG!!!)

Anyways, it will go wrong as you mentioned and i will have pop corn
