I would not dream of developing without foreign keys/referential
integrity. Oracle catches many of my programming mistakes as
constraint errors before they mess things up and waste a lot of time.
I don't get many constraint errors with my programs in fully debugged
production environments, so I guess I might be able to get away
without constraints there, but I generally would prefer not to take
the chance as the consequences are more severe.
However, I have not tried Postgres, which I understand is free and
has referential integrity.
