Hi Edward,

Just ignore celko, he's an arrogant idiot with little real industrial
experience; he teaches standard sql and database design and that's it, but
that seems to have been picked up through doing a maths degree or something;
the old self-taught problem some people have....

Anyway, MC's answer should give you what you need.

Tony.
