Even when users request an update, such requests have to weighed against how that change will affect the rest of the program. When you fix one thing, you usually break another.

I really want to try my hand at building a database application. I've got all the moving parts, I just need to figure out how to a) design the proper objects and b) tie the who thing together logically.
