[Quoted] That statement should have been more like: In general, normalization is a very important technique that allows efficient data mgmt; however, the time it takes to normalize data and retreive normalized data (relatively small amounts of data) reduces performance and as such may not be appropriate in apps where maximum performance is required.

[Quoted] For example, in dbd, where performance is not a primary requirement and data mgmt is, all represented things are auto-normalized (no redundant representations). Received on Mon May 01 2006 - 01:13:07 CEST
