Some one recently looked at a table diagram that I had made and referred to one of the tables as a "higher level table". I understand normalizing tables, primary and foreign keys, and one to many relationships. I don't recall hearing the term "higher level table", however. When I think of something "higher level", I think of thinks like higher level classes in Java. Could someone be so kind as to let me know what they are referring to when they use the term "higher level table"? Thanks very much!
Just wanted to close this
thread after looking again at what this other programmer had written to me. (it was ~3 1/2 years ago that he wrote it). When he spoke of "top level table" he was simply referring to my design where I had a table with a primary key in it. Not exactly
rocket science. ;)
