Database Design Best Practices [closed]

Answer 1

if you don't document enums in the description column of the schema so that i can figure out what the '5' is in this:

Select name from peeps where accountStatusId = 5

then do this

Use a table to enumerate a field. eg:

Select name 
from peeps p 
join accountStatus s 
on p.accountStatusID = s.asid 
where s.accountStatus = 'ActiveDude'
