Both ideas are very helpful. I'll definately be visiting that sql site a lot. I'm not sure about BLOBs though, is it just like a catch all. Where if you can't save data as something better, just save it as a BLOB? As you can imagine a google search for BLOB gives me a general definition and not much more. Thanks again for the help.
blobs are usually for storing data that's not going to be used in calculation or searching. It's difficult to formulate a query to search using the content of a blob. You might use a blob to store a picture of a product, but not to store the product name or identification number. You will likely search using that information.
