>>In this specific case, you have a fixed list of Boolean values. I said a "short list", it doesn't have to be fixed. It can be a list of codes related to a table with codes and description, and this table is expandable. But you don't always need a cross table between them. I use this for permissions to access areas in my CMS system. For the time being, I have about 15 areas to 20, this system could be good for more than 100 different areas, but I KNOW that I'll never need that much, it's as simple as that.
I also have in the same database about 7500 photographs, and 20000 individuals, each of whom may be identified in several photos, and yes, in THAT case I use a cross table. It's just a matter of judgment. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
