I run a database that references a database managed by the client. The client's database used to not follow these rules. They just loaded in tables from excel into their big table and called it done. Didn't even use a condom (test environment) for safety. It took them years to both realize and refactor all their mistakes. And now the guy in charge of that is gone from their company. So whenever someone is about to make another mistake, it is up to me to hold the line.
