Hello,

Imagine I have a table called countries. Every country is the world has a
unique name so should my table just have one field called ie CountryName or
should I have 2 fields including eg Countryid?

I mean, if the countryname fields are unique anyway what is the point of
creating an id field? It just seems to me to create extra baggage.

I'm all new to this so someone point me in the right direction!

Thanks,

td.
