Your comment is interesting - because it's exactly how I've seen
databases represented in print, including from Microsoft, Oracle and
IBM.  And when I was teaching SQL, it's how I displayed databases in my
courseware.

Not necessarily in HTML, but exactly the same layout.

How do YOU display a database on a web page?

In this case I think you're wrongly criticizing richard - and owe him an
apology.
