What I find interesting in all of this exchange -- however -- is that everyone agree's renumbering the "id" of a dB is something you don't do, but no one can come up with a concrete (other than relational) reason why.It's simply -- concretely -- inefficient & inelegant to modify on average half the records in a database simply in order to delete one record, when queries give us fast, simple, READ-ONLY methods for enumerating existing data.
