Yeah, I've read enough to have heard of normal design, but I never figured out exactly what the different normal forms were or anything. It seemed overly didactic for me. I'm more of the "do it this way, it works" school. :)


Heh, it's very philosophical sometimes :) It's shiny if you can get it to work, but it usually means having a lot of tables, which would probably just complicate things for DW devs as it makes getting stuff from the database harder. I think :)
