sorry... i remember when this list had about 10-20 mails per day...

we about less then 30 the last week...

pre-semestral silence ... the silence before the storm :) and there were many problems with the mail last weeks - virii etc.

maybe this explains... but hey!

People, start asking.
i will ask ! i need to build a database.i haven't built any databases
yet (i did access db's though)here's the questions i have:

Abstract:
the db will contain information about real estates (flats/houses etc.)
i thought in OOD terms, and came to:
address, person, estate  - data  "objects" or - tables.using these
terms, there will be relations between these tables.

i understand there's solution of "simply" putting it all into 1 huge
table. and search by simple or/and matches. what i don't unserstand is:
how do i decide how much to go down with the most basic tables, vs. one
huge table.
as someone pointed this out to be the "normalization" question.

Q1: where do i read about it ?

books/links appreciated.
real examples appreciated too.

Q2: which platform shall i use for the GUI frontend of this DB, given
that i chose the DBMS to be PostgreSQL.
i have written in: C, C++, Java
(i see C isn't much of a help in GUI...except maybe GTK frontend)
i think i also can handle Python.
which tools are there ? what you suggest ?
need Hebrew support, of course .. so if GUI supports - good for it.


Thanks in advance!
