I can only say that I have seen the output of a group of developers that created an enterprise-wide database that was "fully normalized" which is nice if you are a developer but terrible if you are an admin or user. Just remind yourself how are you going to join some of your tables structures together when trying to report out of the database. Powerbuilder does a real nice job though and has a slick interface, but its not the tool that does the damage... its the minds behind it ;-)
