Possibly. I don't really know very much about what your boss is asking for. If he's really just asking for new scalar properties that which will be used by all (or most) people then I'd add them to the people table. If there's something more complex going on then I'd look for ways to break out separate tables. For example, if some people are affiliates and affiliates have extra data associated with them then I'd add an affilliate_info table linked to people via a foreign key. -sam --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
