RE: Normalization was Left AS/400 and Returned

That has nothing to do with the fact that maintaining a file is better
than maintaining a program.  In my opinion, if the data is maintainable,
it's usually a bad idea to hardcode it into a program (depending of
course on the amount of data and frequency of updates), but that's just
me.

In any case, I'm not going to argue that point any further.  I wasn't
asking about a hard-coded table, I was asking about a file.  The whole
discussion was about database design, so let's just leave the hard-coded
table issue for some other discussion, eh?
