Or should i be making a seperate > table entirely for this? It really depends on your traffic for updates, inserts, deletes, and selects. When it comes to monetary transactions, well, they tend to be somewhat final. I think your design is fine (but, personally would use another RDBMS). > > Are these solutions ok? or do they violate some database desing > principle. are they any good introductory texts on db design? These ideas are pretty good. You could also have a watermark table depending on how difficult your select statements will turn out. Just as a side note, I have rarely seen a database design that handles time-sensitive data (like cash flow) correctly. Especially if reports are important. Don't let that bother you, though. I think you have a good setup so far. hth, Todd
