Well, thank you for that Jamie,

I like your sincerity (I hope you are) and you are right. I get the feeling
people on this board who like to consider themselves as experts aren't
particularly helpful.

Reading web pages don't particularly help when it comes to understanding
table relations.

Suggest you learn about normalisation and then things will just pop into

With respect, that isn't the most constructive response.

I've tried to learn about normalization as much as I can and I'm getting
very bored and frustrated when I get this kind of answer.

I feel the same when I see such an answer.

It may make you feel better to learn this secret: not everyone posting
such answers understands normalization themselves. There is a reason
why people say vague things like 'properly normalized'...

When was the last time someone posted to this group a 'proper' answer
i.e. a complete schema in DKNF g?

Jamie.
