I have to disagree also. I don’t hard code one piece of information, Every aspect of the program in code in tables.
So it can be change on the fly by an admin and not a program. I use a code generation to maintenance all the files.

I will have to absolutely disagree with that statement - if you properly design a system in 3rd normal form that inherently creates a greater number of tables for any system. Extrapolating that statement - the larger the system the more tables. Transaction tables have a place, but they can't replace a well architected and well-designed enterprise system.

A well designed business system will not requiere hundred of tables.

A transactions table can hold information for many tasks, and Db2 can handle big tables very efficiently.

When you develop broadly-scoped business systems consisting of
hundreds or perhaps thousands of database tables you'll need some form
of code generation with consistent user and programmer interfaces to
handle basic database inquiry and maintenance. That was a key for us,
and made it possible for us, a small company with just a couple
programmers, to gain a foothold into the public school software
market. Although there may be some really bad code generators out there, I doubt that's the norm.
