Yah, he's getting paid. I think he's only getting paid for something like 10
hours a week, though. I really don't know. My last conversation with his was
on Tuesday, as I was leaving for the holidays. I said I'd be back Monday,
and then he argued with me about why the stateid should be part of the
primary key in the county table.
Me: You don't need to do it that way. It will overcomplicate all your
queries.
Him: But, a county shouldn't exist without a state!
Me: Right, that's why you make it a not null foreign key.
Him: But, it could still exist without a state.
Me: No, it couldn't.
Him: I still think it needs to be part of the primary key.
Me: I have a bus to catch. We'll talk about it Monday.

*sigh*
