thx. chris for replying..
well I need 3 tables (as in DB) .. and i was thinking of using these 3 tables to
store data like RDBMS (not in its totality).. but using primary and foreign
keys.. and storing the unique ids of one table in another and retriving the
records from diff. tables as the need be..... will this situation reduce the
performance ..
