Float ID Database Design

CREATE TABLE accounts { "id" FLOAT, "name" VARCHAR(1024), "balance" FLOAT, PRIMARY KEY("id") }

A code screenshot shows a SQL table definition for accounts with a floating-point ID and balance. The joke is that using FLOAT for an ID and money is dangerously poor database design, making this a reaction to questionable programming decisions.
