That statement jumped out at me as well. I've worked as a DBA on tons of databases backing a wide variety of ERPs, web apps, analytics, data warehouses...700 columns?!? No.

You've never seen an SAP database where the business object had a couple hundred fields? Its pretty much required if you're touching international data.
