I wouldn't drink the "normalization isn't for the datastore" coolaid too much. ;) On Sep 28, 6:06 pm, Wooble <geoffsp...@gmail.com> wrote: > The datastore isn't a relational database, so articles about > relational databases for the most part don't apply. > > On Sep 28, 7:54 am, jerry ramphisa <jere...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Hi there, > > > I hear normalizing the database is bad if you are using google > > datastore.
