You should be able create additional tables derived from the original
data and work with those as part of your analysis project. No
modification of the original *tables* will be required.
But this would indeed be much easier to talk about if your columns had
names.
And that's okay, having to create temporary tables to work with.
What I meant was, I can't go back to the client and tell them their
schema is really messed up and to store their data differently. I know
I can create additional tables to work with, and ultimately that may
indeed happen.
