Today's Question of the Day comes from John B. He asks, "How do you create tables with relationships between each other and not end up in the relationships window? You went over the creating tables in SQL 3 Seminar and said you do not have to make the tables end up in the relationship window, but you did not explain how you did it."
John, if your Relationships window is getting cluttered with too many tables (as will any decent-sized database) you can just delete the tables from the window. The relationships will remain. The database will still store any relationships you create and keep settings like referential integrity, cascade deletes, etc. whether or not those tables appear in the Relationships window.
If you decide later that you want to see those relationships again, just re-add the tables, or click the "All Relationships" button to show ALL of the tables with their relationships. Hope this helps.
