My wife use to work at a credit card company. Someone in their group had taken the Microsoft Access 'Northwinds' sample database, changed the labels, and reworked the processes to more or less fit the SQL/tables that existed. No understanding, beyond behavior, of what was underneath at all. There was much 'you got to be kidding' when the corporate mandated all database applications would be migrated to Oracle.
