Hi bruce,

That would have been an even more normalized representation of the table(s),
yes.

For the purposes of demonstrating a state of normalization that still
allowed the OP to maintain a single table, my structure in that post was:

Scores
        -ScoredThingID
        -scoretype
        -score

I would personally have implemented a structure similar to the one you
outlined, but posted with the idea of "first things first". That's why I
included a link to a tutorial on normalization and suggested Googling on the
topic as well, for further reading.

Still and all, it's helpful of you to clarify.

Much warmth,

Murray
