I'm a bit scared from using a not reliable database structure. Are already present best pratices to build "Agile-DB"? What about updating db server and to not let dba denormilize well-made databases?

The solution is to be pragmatic and to think at the db as a desk drawer. It will happen someday that you'll need it to sync in someway with something else, and so you'll use triggers and stored procedures: just limit the number of them, because your job is to keep the business logic consistent, not to waste time trying to understand why that damn row wasn't inserted into the damn table! Thank you for the genius ;) argh, yeah, re-reading it for the Nth time, I too find it a bit hard to get.

Which is the solution? :) Is there a part two for this post? (pustules! you're a damn genius!) So? Which is the solution? :) Is there a part two for this post?
