RE: Normalization was Left AS/400 and Returned

Well, obviously your file has more to do than day of year and date, 
doesn't it?

RE: Normalization was Left AS/400 and Returned






You would replace a user-editable file with a hard-coded table in a
program?  Ooooooooookay.  That's a... err... UNIQUE solution.  Certainly
one I hadn't thought of.

For anyone else, I'll make the question a little more specific: a file
holds maintainable calendar information (let's say for multiple
warehouses), and the information in question is simply a flag that says
whether the warehouse is open that day or not.  The data is stored in a
file because ... well, because that's where everybody except Rob stores
user-modifiable data.

Would you store the data one flag per warehouse/date, with the warehouse
and date as the keys to the file, or would you store the information in
an array, perhaps by year or by some other arbitrary unit of time?
