Rick,
I thought you would come up with some normalisation in this class.
For example what if a customer has different "shipto" adresses? Like in "amazon.com" I can send any item to up to 4 ship to adressess (like a christmas gift or so).
Wouldn't it be better to normalize and get the data out of a "shipto-table" based on "customerid" (or orderid)?

Reply from Richard Rost:

Yes, you are absolutely correct. The perfect database would allow you to enter multiple addresses for each customer using a secondary table - so you could have as many addresses as you want. I believe I mentioned in the video somewhere that this is just a "good enough" solution for the purposes of class. But I like how you're thinking! :)
