When your DBA moves a database, it's a good idea to make sure all the tables still have their primary keys. I discovered this week that Oracle and SQL Server both enable you to move tables while leaving indexes behind.

It may be a sign of a strong framework when your software operates more or less successfully even when 75% of your tables lack proper unique constraints.

It may be a sign of good luck when this sort of thing only happens to (a) training databases and (b) production databases deployed in a situation in which data loss is not a big deal.
