Hi -
I know I can develop my db anyway I want but wanted to get some opinions.
Quick question:
Is it best to normalize first and last names? If I have two Joe Smiths, what does it matter if I have a field for the first name and the other for the last name? After all, the autonumber is what's keeping track correct? Would it be terrible db design to have the first and last in one field?
Thank you
