Re: What are the limits to the usefulness of normalization?

One could write a book on this.



It takes about a week to learn how to normalize.  It takes much longer to
learn when to normalize.



Basically,  any time you depart from normalization in your DB design,  you
should be able to state what you are gaining and what you are losing.
