One of the reasons women will find this repugnant is because they didn't normalize their tables. Should be boyfriend_id is null.

Why is there a separate table for men and women in the first place? Shouldn't there be a person table with a many to many relationship with itself (because polyamory exists)?

For that matter, why is waist size a Boolean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They allowed business logic to pollute the DB table, and "small waist" is a defined range in some confluence doc somewhere.

Or this is an analytics database where these are well-defined dimensions added for segmentation logic. 🤷

I would reject this pull request. Why is the indenting all over the place? Why is your keyword capitalisation all over the place? WHY YELLOW?!

Edit: the more I look at this the more it pisses me off. Wtf is going on with your kerning? Just random number and placement of spaces. Also, why is the table name in caps? Who does that? Select * is lazy. Do you really need every field about a girl? Really? Worst of all, not a limited request. I sware this is just the kind of thing that would return 30 million rows and brick the database for twenty seconds.

You forgot some: Why is there no space after SELECT?

Why are boyfriend and smallwaist not questions like is_cute and is_crazy? Either all boils are with a verb or none.

Also why is smallwaist not in snake case? It should be small_waist (or better yet has_small_waist or even better waist = "small")

Also also boyfriend should be null not false, this would solve multiple issues.

And finally the only positive thing is the * itself, because selecting only body would be even worse. 🤣

Shouldn't boyfriend be a reference to another table?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

BF has no referential integrity

That's (part of) why it should be a separate table to map the relation "Relationship". People can have more than one (polyamory, infidelity), and you could track fields like the start, end, status (e.g. flirting, dating, committed, engaged, married, ended) in there.
