Default breaking 1st Normal Form - Design Question - 07-24-2006 , 10:25 AM






Hi,
I have to store multiple values of an attribute.
I won't be performing any manipulations on these, it will always stay
as a list.

Do you see any downside to keeping it as one field, as opposed to
creating another table,just to observe 1st Normal Form.

thanks
Roshan
