Probably just a couple of decades... Seriously, I would
guess that we once had the intelligence to develop database schemas in synch with application code. That is, before the Royce paper came out and we all happened to misinterpret it to mean design-everything-first-and-then-code.
Note that I haven't been around for long enough to actually
know this kind of things. Maybe Scott has?
