I figured "Spirit" was "GIN" or "RUM", and "Drug" was "E", but I missed "ST" ...

How does "drug" translate to "E"?

Commonly?!?!?!?!?!?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Yea even OG knew it - well it was in the UK anyway

Quick! Shove her back in the freezer and wind the temperature down as far as it'll go!

How many here normalize their databases?

If I create it, yes.
If it's inherited, maybe.
But you should probably have asked to what form.
I personally go for at least third, but usually not up to fifth. It depends on purpose.

Yes, but usually no further than third level. For really small databases the answer is usually not, especially if I inherited the structure.
|
|
|
|

I normalize until 3rd NF.
Maybe I'll have some denormalized tables for quick access. But I only do that when performance is not good, and I can't find another problem. That is, no premature optimizations.

Looking it up (i had to) it looks like I typically use 3NF.

I do. That's why I had to look it up. I never learned it formally. I just learned "construct a database in a way that maintains integrity and is sane enough for the application to survive for awhile"

I didn't take it as an attack, no worries. I figured I just needed to clarify.
I learned DBs in the .com boom days when it was a free for all. I attempted to impose some order on the mess. All I got for my efforts typically was put in charge of databases - something i didn't want to be in charge of.
And then there was the time when I worked with a self taught developer who built out an entire ecommerce platform, front and back end, including a jquery-like (but *not jquery ) engine for the front end. Rather than doing JOINs in the database he was doing them in PHP on the webserver.
I taught him SQL. Then I quit.

I had a colleague like that once. He was transferring two 100G entries tables (+-50 columns each) to PHP to do joins using for loops. It was killing the server and taking almost a week to process.
The boss only noticed when he requested a new, more powerful server (our server was brand new). Boss told me to converted it to SQL and it started taking less than an hour to do the same join
That colleague quit the project soon after that.
