You seem to be going out of the way and way off the topic of the question to prove that it's okay to use your methods Jochem. No one said it wasn't okay. My point was that if he's having trouble with something that shouldn’t be hard, then break it down to its simplest form and give every column its own purpose.

Especially if there is little explanation when asked. I'm sorry, but I don’t know how else to explain it. The phrase, "Easier that it already is", is hardly 'street language' and can't be easier to understand than it already is. :) Unless it’s a solution to the original question, which I've seen no one else offer yet, I say we drop this topic all together. Especially since Jeff hasn't bothered to give us more input. This thread is becoming more and more useless with every rebuttal and we are just adding more keywords to the archives that point to a pointless debate. <cf_duckout> -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 3:10 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SQL Query Question Ewok wrote: >> >> this is by far the easiest way to link tables. > > No... It’s the only way to "link" tables that's why we do it. Not at all, you can link tables in many ways: you just have to do it all by hand instead of using the features that are provided by the database. > It seems that you are becoming a little uptight about this I always get annoyed if people write something I don't understand. Especially if there is little explanation when asked. It is important to write proper English if you want people that learned English as a second language to understand what you are writing. We learned English from newspaper articles and books and that is the language we understand, not street language.
