I don't completely follow what you're saying because of my db inexperience. Nonetheless, I'm think that there's not a cure because it's a many to one relationship. There are attendees and several take_aways per note (my base table). To represent them as one record, I'd have to have an array of fields from the attendees database in a record and a similar array for the take_aways. Is that right?
