I was wondering is there is a good method to make a database field a 
pointer, similar to C. Here is an example I made up of why this could be 
useful:
        Suppose I have a table 'coworkers' with 2 email address fields: work_email 
and home_email. It would be useful to have another field that was something 
like 'preferered_email' that pointed to one or the other. Then, updates would 
only need to happen once, and it would be easy to change back and forth. 
        Tell me if there is some better, more sensible method to accomplish this 
task.

Thanks,
        Jeff Davis
