I was just thinking out loud... First of all, I am not talking about an "Easy Button". I am talking about a migration path from a fully normalized relational database (hope that is a more accurate term) to take advantage of MV database functionality. Using U2 as a Data warehouse, serving data to web apps, use my U2 experience to get high paying jobs, increase efficiencies in the cloud and in BI reporting, <<insert need here>>>. PS Will - There are actually 5 ways to normalize data, and yes, there is a second normal form. However, I have never heard of a "First abnormal form". Also, If I thought you could write it better and faster then me, I might take you up on it;) 'We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.'

"First normal form" does that imply there is a "first abnormal form" ? Or a "second normal form" ? At any rate, first normal databases are just tables of columns and rows. The rows all share the same column-defined attributes. The rows are records, the columns are the attributes in those records. It's very simple. I'll write it for you for 20 grand.
