Talk:Database refactoring

I'd like this article changed, so that it focuses on the process of database refactoring, rather than emphasizng the term for the "smallest possible change" (see refactoring). It is bewildering to the beginner as to why anyone would want to make a single, small change ... unless we explain that the point is to make a series of such changes, resulting in overall simplification of a system. Or speeding it up, or something.

In short, let's distinguish between the refactoring process and "a refactoring". --Uncle Ed (talk) 21:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
