I will be setting up 6 tables. Each of these tables will have a common field (capital works number). Will this cause a problem when I want to generate reports pulling from several different tables?
Reply from Richard Rost:
I'd need to see your database (or at least your design schema) to tell you for sure... but generally it's OK to have the same number in several tables if it's a HUMAN-GENERATED number. For example, you might have a PART NUMBER that represents a specific product, and is assigned by the manufacturer, and you have it entered into several different tables (order, product, inventory, etc.)
