I have a relatively small database with a lot of columns. Trying to decide between Foreign Keys or simply using Join with Where clauses and just store the information in separate unassociated tables other than a key term.
It really depends on what the tables look like and what you're going for. :wooha:
If you know what you're doing - just deciding between the two - and have time, code both up, run some timing tests on them and make your decision based on that.
