    Why would Santa need two separate tables for this?

      I would make two separate views.

      CREATE VIEW NiceList AS
       SELECT * FROM Children
        WHERE behavior = 'nice' 
         AND parent.income > 40000; 
      CREATE VIEW NaughtyList AS
       SELECT * FROM Children
        WHERE behavior = 'naughty';

            I’ve a DBA who would insist on this being in a dimension table and using a foreign key constraint instead of just a fucking string

              I like your DBA!

              Users probably don’t.
