    Second Normal Form a Massive Table

    I know exactly what you mean and i actually agree with you on the redundancy of some of the data. It might make sense to remove some of the redundancy because having a meaningful primary key would be very useful. In practice however, the PeriodHeading is useful on its own merits and also the...
