Just goes to show that it really takes an analytical mind to perfect the
concepts of relational databases.

well, to a certain extent. what it mainly takes is practice! <g>

This dialogue was very educational for me as it relates to what I have
read
many times on the boards :put it all on paper first", and, "determine all
information to be stored in the database and its relations to other
tables"
before creating them. If this was done, I would know that the SSN and
VIN
Numbers were not suitable candidates for a Unique Identifier.

then it was time well spent, for both of us. and hopefully the dialogue be
helpful to other folks who may read this thread.

Thanks for all your insight ,as usual

and you're very welcome, as always. :)
