OK, Gene. I should know more about relational modeling than I do. Although the OP thought I was more helpful than Bob, you don't seem to think so. If you have the capacity to learn from Marshall's distinction of criticizing content rather than people (the obvious logical distinction and civility of his approach seems to escape some folks), please correct for the OP anything that I have said that is wrong.

Thanks. --dawn Received on Thu Apr 20 2006 - 22:07:41 CEST
