Am I denigrating a nut-and-bolt when glue would be an easier solution ?

The problem with most people (programmers included) that they often 
over-think (and thus over-complicate) stuff.    I think that a database is 
/definitily/ overcomplicating stuff, especially when looking at the OP who's 
supposed to write and maintain it.  Y personal MMV.
