RE: Database design question

Trying to see what business reason there would be to changing the customer
number. Was another rule violated? Such as always use meaningless
numbers? For example, decades back we use to teach a class on wire
nomenclature to new employees. This was used to help explain our item
numbers. Each part of the item number helped to categorize the part. Of
course, this is a glaring violation of the database rule and would require
you to change the part number if it got recategoried.
