Hi there,
 I'm fairly new to database design, having only really worked with
 existing tables etc in the past.
 
 Simple question this really...........
 
 In a users table, is it wise to have a ManagerID column that is
 effectively pointing to another user in the same table, with the
 theory being that if that person is top dog, they will just have a
 null entry in ManagerID.
 
 I will check for circular references before entering the data.
 
 Is there a better way of storing the data, or is this the only way?
 
 Thanks,
 Michael.
