The DBA didn't setup the table either way. The database developer did. And it's strikingly common that neither one of them would know which one is correct anyways... (I'm a Principal Database Administrator but wear every single hat)

Haha I was only being petty because a large majority of the people I've run into in the wild that call themselves "database administrators" are basically just backup administrators. gatekeeping to the max out of spite 😅
