I've just had to explain to someone who has been developing (admittedly very small) databases for many years what a Foreign Key is.

I've encountered a few jaw-dropping moments with "enterprise Access architects" myself...the size of the companies they have been working for is the most frightening part!

A wrongfully placed foreign key can be a very dangerous thing...even in a friendly village. What if you found one on your nightstand and discovered that it belonged to the man next door??

Foreign key = using your Chevy key in a V-dub.

Also, trying to play the Brandenburg concerto in B flat.
