Re: Database design question

I have to design a database that will hold notes keyed by a user. These
notes can be anywhere from a few words to a several hundred. Notes will be
tracked by user/date/time. There can be hundreds of separate notes entered
each day, so this database will get rather large.

Since this is the RPG list, I feel beholden to mention displaying on native green screen displays and printing on native printers. The database design might seem simpler if you have your note as a large-ish VARLEN() but one needs to balance that against the effort needed to display the note to a green screen.
