A common problem of programmers is, that they want a solution they
already know for a problem they already know, even if it is the worst
solution the can choose.
There are so many possibilities to solve a given problem and you even
have time to do this before your application get released.
Also: if you rely so heavily on hints, then use a database which
supports hints. A basic mantra in every training i have given is: use
the tool/technic/persons which fits best for the needs of the project.
There are many databases out there - choose for every project the one,
which fits best!
