The trouble currently with 3 tables. I'm excluding non-relevant
fields...
tbl_users
PK_user_ID
tbl_developers
PK_developer_ID
FK_developer_us er_ID
FK_developer_pr oject_ID
tbl_projects
PK_project_ID
This is an application that manages users with 3 levels of access. All
users are in the users table and their access level is identified
there. The three levels are 1 (admin), 2 (developer), and 3 (client).
Currently my problem is with developers. I originally created the
developers table as a "bridge" table. What's backfiring that
intention is that there could be more than one developer for each
project, creating a many to many. How can I solve this?
Thanks!!

LOL, that's what I like about you Bob...dramatic emphasis!
ok, so M2M is alright in this case then. All the beginner books keep
telling me that's is a no-no so I try to avoid them is all.
So all is good then, we'll leave it as is.

Many-to-many relationships are a "no-no". That's why you use a bridge table
to convert the many-to-many relationship into two(2) one-to-many
relationships. It may be more correct to state that "direct" many-to-many
relationships are a "no-no".

Hmm, maybe that's what he's talking about.

I don't know of any DB Engines where this is even possible.
It's a bit like saying, seating 4 elephants in a Mini is a "no-no".

Hi,
I have a Python script interacting with a specialized
C numerical library. The whole program does quite a lot
of number crunching as should be running for a couple
of hours. However, it always seems to run out of memory
after maybe 40-45 minutes (I get a MemoryError from
the python interpreter). I wanted to see what took
that much memory so I printed a reference count
