On: Ask HN: Do you use foreign keys in relational data...

Giving up foreign key constraints because they cause errors is basically the same mistake that the monk in http://thecodelesscode.com/case/115 made.

Yes, this 100%. Though, as other comments have printed out: you need to take application and scale into account.

Fundamentally it's a question of how one should go about handling multi-tenant situations.
