German, you say "not unique" for the FKs. Exactly how "not unique" is
this? It is OK to have a foreign key to customer in the order table,
but it is not OK to have a foreign key to status when 90% of the
records have the status 'Completed'. And what does the three seconds
include? Connect to database, insert record, commit transaction or
simply insert record without connection or transaction timing. Do you
have any triggers firing at the time of insert (I thought duplicates
wouldn't cause much trouble when inserting, but that updating and
deleting could suffer from duplicates)?
