Pagination of a db field, or not.

Yep. I actually have much more experience with database (dating back to db4) than php and have been doing a lot of research on MySql specifics.

I have been looking at how others have built systems (mostly open source), and am amazed that very few seem to be able to develop to 3NF. I guess they are afraid to do either complex sql statements or do a lot of queries. Shucks, unless you are pulling huge chunks of data per query or have badly thought out indexes, your not saving time and creating head aches when trying to manage your data.
