My all-time favorite database table was a table named STATE, meant to store all US states. It had 531 rows.

I have been trying to get people in my area to make their new table generically named, since it's going to be the only table that can map a date range to a different date range, but I'm on holidays now, and they can't imagine anything other than their little project needing this table, so it's going to be named for this one project, and it's columns will be named for the specific data they'll hold :(
