    Also that’s not how deduplication works.

    He means/thinks that SSN is not unique (which is not a problem, just different design).

    Of course he’s wrong about lots of stuff, just the nerd in me could not not explain it.

      I imagine he’s looking at a payments table where there is a non-unique key to relate a citizen to each payment.

        Yeah, I was thinking something similar. I’m not a DBA but it’s the easiest way (that I can think of) to record all transactions for a certain user.
