Hi Henning,

yes, you are right. This would be the easiest way.
But I'm not very happy with this, because every year 10,000 students are 
leaving our university and all would produce empty entries.

I'm not very familiar with databases. Will we run into performance problems, if 
there are so many new entries every year?
 
Greetings

Martin
