What affected the internal design?: Development staff

The database was redesigned by Matt who was regarded as technically very good (00004, 01060). How qualified Matt was for the job is difficult to assess but I suspect he did a fair amount of learning on the job as this was the ethos in GIS (for example Matt's successor, Alan joined with no experience and within eighteen months had become the database administrator (00866)). Sybase favourably reviewed the design (00735) but there continued to be doubts about it (01065, 00955). One effect of the redesign of the database was that there were considerable problems with the migration from phase I to phase II caused by inconsistencies in the phase I database (01050).
