I'm just wondering.. say i have a members table as my main table in MYSQL.. and in that table i have a field named month, that will be one of twelve options.
would it be better practice to have the month field linked to another table called months and have the month table populated with the values 1 to 12? or is it fine just to have it as a field which is not linked. thx dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
