Because you’re a sissy? http://www.kottke.org/04/10/normalized-data I come from the line of once the table is in ram it's easily accessible. If 5 lookups are necessary, do you use 5 tables? If the lookup is Yes or No do you put that to it's own table? How far do you go before you realize that it's extreme or obscene?
