A Google search for "USS Yorktown" turned up the following:

"On September 21, 1997, a division by zero error on board the USS Yorktown 
(CG-48) Remote Data Base Manager brought down all the machines on the network, 
causing the ship's propulsion system to fail."

To eliminate the need to reference a table would require combining  300 tables 
into one table. A user editing entries for one space could crash the whole 
system. That's basically what happened aboard the Yorktown in 1997. A cook 
trying to enter an item into the lunch menu killed the engines on the ship.
