A very clear presentation of the process of developing a normalized relational database. It does not matter if the database is Internet related or not. I have never heard of "controled denormalisation'. Normalization is a compromise between the ideal and the capability of technology. I never heard of a m:n relation. Is that many to none? Please restate your question. Leaving out the jargon and use simple English. I would very much like to help. Michael Vester mvester@nospam.v-wave.com
