Re: FLASH: Database Structure

[Cheri Harder]

Thank you, Mary.  Always great design advice from you and Eva (and others,

of course.)  And I always need nudged along those routes and will TRY to

keep all these things in my brain.


I'll be pulling these descriptions from a database that I am building, and

I'm still trying to figure out how to structure the database end of this

enigma.  In other words, are there different part numbers for each

combination of option, so each gets its own line of data?  Or is there an

"options" column or two or three, where the code in that line of data refers

to a "dictionary" table of options...

sizes, colors....
