The question was:
Why PRIMARY_PARENT_CATEGORY_ID is not used while selecting root categories
(after studying model I supose that there is no need of havin primary one)
Why there is no relation (foreign key) on that column.
But the main question was:
Do we need to select all categoeries from the database to choose only couple
of them.
The answer is no. If you'd like understand how the data model has been
implemented through the Catalog Manager, you can
a) Spend many hours reading the code because the data model is just that
- the data model. The business logic is in the code.
b) Read about it in a book (that I spend many hours researching a writing.)
Today I was providing a training for the external customers (not Ofbiz).
Anyway - I will provide you a parch as soon as I will get some time.
All your messages regarding advertisment was off topic. It's a very bad
thing in this mailing list. You could create a new thread for that.
My summarization after first day in Ofbiz community:)
- Great software (but need to be improved to catch up the competitors)
For example, what would you like to see improved?
- Very active community (but not focused on the problem)
What problem would that be?
- Some people that are here not for helping :)
Would you be referring to me? If so, sorry you feel that way. If you are
referring to me, I'd like to know more about how I have not helped.
Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected].
Hope next day will be better :)
Hope so.

First, this mailing list is not about you posting your "beliefs" as

the dissemination of facts concerning OFBIz.
And the point Scott was making is that you are not doing that. Instead, you
are promoting a book you have for sale.
Two questions were asked:
1. Can a category be used in more than one Catalog?
2. Can a category have more than one parent?
Your reply didn't answer either of those questions. Your reply was nothing
more than an advertisement for your book. Like Scott said, in the spirit of
the open source community, why not answer the questions first, and *then*
refer the person to your book?
