I was trying to explain that with... If someones address is denormalized into 1000 contact records, then when the user updates their address the system has to go out to all of the contact records and update them as well. And this gets multiplied by every complex relationship that exists in the data. And redundant fields can increase data size exponentially.
But is Google's position that all data should be denormalized? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
