Forgive me if I am being foolish with this query. I am not expert in Databases and new to DBIx
I have been working my way though the the Catalyst tutorials (I am presuming that the list is familiar with these tutorial). There is a section about making 3 tables with SQLite3; books, authors and book_authors. The last table is described as 'book_authors' is a many-to-many join table between books & authors' My query is: Is this the "best practise" or an over-simplification for us newbies? Would you normally create a table for joins to show many to many relationships? I would have though that you could use SQL statements to retreive that rather than create a table of it. Again, hope I not being foolish on my first post :~| Dp.
