To Denormalise or not to Denormalise

Hi All



I wonder if any of you folk out there can help settle an argument with a
colleague who passionately believes that one should never have to
denormalise  any part of a well designed database. He believes that a 'well
designed'  database should be in 3NF or higher and can be efficiently
implemented without denormalising any part of it.



Thanks in advance for any comments



Lawrence
