…The only other reasonable option is change your model and requirements to something less complex.
Seriously, get yourself the books I have recommended and study them BEFORE you continue attempting to design your database.
You need a firm understanding of logical design & flow, otherwise you will be wasting your time.

The purpose of this list is whatever people are willing to make of it - within reason. I share the sentiment that your particular method of education is becoming burdensome to the people who volunteer their time on these lists to answer questions.

+1 +1 +1 +1: Lucas – David really nails it: you’ve stopped relying on yourself and are relying on the mercy and generosity of strangers to solve your problems. It takes a lot of time to read, dissect, understand and then comment on your (or anyone’s) emails, and you’ve proven adept at consuming much of the available oxygen on the list. Please a bit more considerate - you’ve received an amazing amount of solid guidance and advice. I can tell you that when I see your name as the author, I now normally delete the email – that’s NOT the response you want, right?
