[Quoted] Right now I'm treating 1NF as a 0 or 1. Either data is in 1NF or it is not. The RM requires 1NF and all other NF's require 1NF (today). If you bend this rule and no longer require normalization (1NF), you break the RM as we know it. So, what is this "close" thing? --dawn Received on Wed Mar 01 2006 - 03:48:42 CET
