I am creating a database that will have about 12 type tables associated with it. Someone has suggested making one type table that would have a field that identifies which types go with each other (like separating them into individual tables).
Is this a wise idea? It seems to me that it could cause duplication of data in some query results. Is it more efficient to limit the number of joins in this manner?
Thanks
Jodi
