An Industrial Example of Database Reverse Engineering

This paper presents an industrial example of database reverse engineering. The example has been abridged so that it fits within a paper. Also some of the field names have been disguised as a courtesy to the source company. Nevertheless, the example is real and illustrates the kinds of mistakes and poor design that are often found in practice.
