Hi:
First, thanks for everyone's help with my earlier database question.
Here is a new one: does anyone have a Lego database in a true relational
format (with all of the normalization, etc)?
I have come up with an outline that will hold all of the information I
currently compile for Technic sets and wondered if it is possible to put it
into a relational format. Is this even worth doing?
Anyway here is outline, I would appreciate any comments. Of course
if I ever get the database finished it would be available to anyone who
wanted the data (Everything is currently available on my site in
both PDF and HTML).
Lego database:
