Perhaps I read the post incorrectly, but I had the impression that there was
a 1:1 relationship between his two tables, not a 1:M relationship, in which
case he should (usually) combine the tables. The problem, if there is one,
is not where I learned relational theory so much as where I learned to read.
Anyway, it's not really necessary to insult people, is it?
