What you offered as "opinion" regarding SQL Server was, stated as fact and was based on 3 incorrect premises. It is not possible for me to refute those facts and not call into question "your opinion."
In any event, we are talking past each other. I do sincerely apologize if you feel I have been condescending, but I do not know of any other way to say "that is not correct" other than to say "that is not correct."
Thank you for taking a closer look at what I meant when I wrote about developing a file naming convention for naming individual document files. You realized I was not talking about GUIDs.
I have developed a web-based patient management system which allows doctors to keep track of their hospital rounds / visits / consults and apply the appropriate billing codes and share that information with the rest of the doctors in the hospital. The system also contains a componentized "code engine" that allows doctor to construct their own "code" groups. For example, in cardiology, one procedure code is may be accompanied by several other codes. With the "code engine" the doctor can create a master code set which would automatically apply the other codes for that procedure.
Lastly, it does not matter what profession you are in, database design and management is at the core of ANY system you build. Yes even for medicine...it's all in the database.
