That would seem to contradict the earlier posting by frosty from which I would have guessed that attribute in each table is meta data (ie Name in T_Gender and Name and Gender in T_Person and maybe even ID).

Yes, I would like see a simple example which would illustrate meta data. Better yet would a definition, rule or step-by-step method that would allow one to determine if X is meta data. Received on Wed Mar 02 2005 - 20:04:33 CET
