Will Generally this means you need to look at the schema design of your database system
If you are running a simple contact Database for Mom and Pop store and you have connections to 100 tables open then you would want to take a more serious look at the schema you are using to merge information from spurious one off tables..this process is called de-normalisation.. the effort would be to take the most often requested column of a table and integrate that columns definition and data into the driver table to reduce the IO and any possible contention of a join condition if on the other hand you are running a enterprise portal with 1000 requests/second with just a few tables open you would want to normalise the data and separate the columns into other tables so as to place those columns into discrete tables which would be created/named based on functionality..associations between tables should always be unique and may involve concatenated columns the most famous example is OrderLine Item which consists of OrderID from Order-Header and OrderLineItemID i hope this addresses your requirement Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
