cool, glad its working for you (and them).
Like I said, do what gets the job done right? All I'm saying is, I cringe when I get pulled onto a jobsite and see one field referring to multiple other fields...but that's just a matter of preference I suppose. I'd really be curious to see how much slower/faster it is. Perhaps I'm just used to using bleeding-edge hardware.
Where I'm currently working, we have several tables with hundreds of thousands of records each. We don't see any slowdowns at all using reference tables like this.
Anyway...do what works for ya right?
