RE: Re[2]: Normalization

I would comment on this one, but Jared would ban me for life!!!

In the 70's when disk space was of critical mass, normalization was a way to reduce, but it is NOT the precept for the process. I think this person should attend one of MY classes and perhaps they will understand what data modeling and normalization are for.

Just curious: Has this "consultant"/Teacher ever created an application???? Sounds like someone that played pacman all day.

Thank You

Well well well - perhaps ignorance was bliss. But it certainly explains the somewhat vituperative exchanges I have encountered in which said gentleman features (grin!)

thanks for the pointer....
