Ok i'm setting up the foreign key relations in the main table is that bad ? I use a join table for a one to many situation. The cool thing about setting it up in the main table is, say you delete an actor you can setup a cascade delete to delete all the dvd titles aswell ;) I'm using sqlyog which has a nice relationship setup feature. > > -- > I don't get it > immigrants don't work > and steal our jobs > - Loesje -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
