If you're of the opinion that database design via forum is unwise, then
perhaps your best bet is to unsubscribe from a forum where that is the
purpose.

I am of the "published" opinion the database design by email is dangerous
if not actually irresponsible.

I am also quite happy to point out when someone is giving information that
will harm a design, such as your lack of measures, which I had initially
only suspected, to prevent data duplication and endanger integrity and
consistency.

I have since had to correct a series of further errors from you and me
(g).

Gees Louise. All she wants to do is track what countries her clients
are from...

Well no what the OP actually wants is....

To present real and true financial and marketing data to perspective
buyers
of my business.
To answer my guests questions, eg, "How many guests have you had?"
"What
country are the majority of your guests from?" "How many Swiss visitors
have
you had?" "Are most of your guests under 30?" etc.

Did you read that, I think the OP is more concerned about data
consistency than you are.

And I think you're not at all concerned about actually answering Andrea's
question. If you were, you would address her and her question rather
than expending a lot of energy trying to demonstrate that I gave her a
wrong answer.

If you are SO concerned for her and her data integrity, post a solution
she can use rather than nitpicking at mine. Otherwise stay out of the
way so I can direct my energy to helping her fine tune rather than
responding to your posts which have ZERO point in the context of this
thread other than to hear yourself talk.
