Re PK's and FK's: Yes, I was glad to see that at first, but not so sure now, as it seems that this database has been 'normalized' to a point that even I, a dyed in the wool normalization bigot, find extreme.
The 'normalization' is in quotes because I haven't had time see if the schema is actually normalized, or just broken up into a lot more tables. The abundance of outer joins used tends to point to the latter. Jared On Monday 24 February 2003 12:08, Jesse, Rich wrote: > Congratulations!
