Normalization is the level of efficiency your data model stores data
that is INPUT. A View is an OUTPUT of the normalized data and has no
buisness being part of the data storage model ... even if the data
that is OUTPUT to the View is stored in your db (ie a Make Table query
in Access), that block of data is NOT part of the data storage model
for your application. If your datamodel is dependant upon on OUTPUT
(ie a View or Make-Table query), then I would stick my neck out and
claim that you are not normal.
