Maybe they weren't responsible for the database design, but are being
asked query from it due to business requirements or maybe it's not a
critical application and it's was easier to load a flat file into
Access than to design a proper normalized database. Regardless, it's
a legitimate question (as are your concerns about unpredictable
results), but to assume that Raghu doesn't know basic Software
Engineering is rude.
