Re: Surrogate Keys

Hi David.

You might be mad at Neil, but I'm sure others (including myself) would be interested in where Access falls shorter from Codd's ideal than other databases advertised as being relational. I promise not to snap if I disagree (I doubt I'm qualified to disagree!). I just don't think I've ever seen such a list and I'd be very interested.

Thank you,
Jon Myers
