Don't store values that can be derived

Eslam_ElbyalyJul 26 2018 — edited Apr 7 2020

HI,

one of Codd's 12 rules says that. But I think the reason behind it was that it was considered a storage overload. I believe that was right in the 70th but now I think storage is not an issue. So Why would I write code to calculate values when I can store them directly which will also have a positive impact on performance?
