Gasp! Do suppose that Bill Gates will next try to tie the OS and the
browser together to prevent browser competition? Why that would be
criminal! Oh, wait a minute, they did try that and it was criminal.

But at least they are not spending billions of dollars to lobby for laws
that will destroy Open Source. Oh wait a minute ... Then there is the
push for C# because Java was too popular, etc. etc.

mmmm, I think I see a pattern in Microsoft's behavior and it does not
favor users. Old farts remember when IBM was Satan and did what was
called "bundling" with their software until they were forced to stop.
The ore things change, the more they stay the same :)

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys,
constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, datatypes, etc. in your
schema are. Sample data is also a good idea, along with clear
specifications.
