A design question, my RATE table looks something like this....

SQL> desc rate
 Name
Null?    Type
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------- -----------------
 RATE_CODE
NOT NULL CHAR(2)
 RATE_EFFECTIVE_START_DATE
NOT NULL DATE
 RATE_EFFECTIVE_END_DATE
NOT NULL DATE
 .
 .

those are the PK fields...and the SQL to query the table is easy.  I am
trying to determine if I can "tighten up" the table, like this...

SQL> desc rate
 Name
Null?    Type
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------- -----------------
 RATE_CODE
NOT NULL CHAR(2)
 RATE_EFFECTIVE_DATE
NOT NULL DATE

I just haven't been able to code the right SQL.

Has anyone else taken this approach?  

Sorry for these design questions, I am just being very anal about every
table, PK column and index, before we dive into development and everything
becomes "hard coded".

TIA!!!!

Chris
