Hey guys,
I have a database containing thousands of documents fairly large in
size. These documents contain something similar to an access key inside
them, so users can control who can view their "documents", how many
times, etc...
Besides these access keys, which get updated very often, the rest of the
document is relatively static.
Would this be a case where it would make sense to normalize my document
and store these access keys separately? Are there any general guidelines
determining when it makes sense to normalize?
