I know this works, but I would suggest using INTEGER instead of text for one_type. It seems like better design. Simon S., DRY makes a lot of sense (and is pretty awesome) *in application code*. You may have been doing it a lot and just didn't know the name. Data models may be more referential than replicated (point to where the text is instead of copying it), but I don't think that this brings huge advantages. -- Bernardo Sulzbach
