Michael,
This RAD approach is interesting. What has happened is that most
systems are so small either in the number of users or the amount of data
that proper database design really doesn't matter any more. The
hardware is so strong(ie: fast) that a bad database design just does not
have the impact that it would have if there were thousands of users or
terabytes of data.
I disagree with it, but that is the way of the world -=20
"Lets do it wrong fast so that we can hurry up and fix it right later".

Why do people think one size fits all. It probably works really well for
somethings and not so well for others. The buzzword around here is
"rapid
development" which sounds very much like "agile programming". The
developer
works right with the client, gets screens up as quick as possible and
they
hash out the rest. Saves alot of money but I'm sure everyone can see the
downside. Scope creep gets huge, big denormalized tables etc. But it
works
well for small projects. the traditional model to application
development
can burn through millions just doing requirements. Our niche is we get
the
product out there quickly to the client, but we don't design billing
systems, usually all dss stuff.
