Yes, if it has a purpose. A one-to-one relationship almost always flows from need rather from the data itself. If you need to force a one-to-one, I'd say do it. However, if there's no business rule saying, "there can be only one..." it might be unnecessary, even if the data is presenting that picture right now. Listen to the data. Susan H. Is there any purpose/advantage in creating a one-to-one relationship in a database (e.g., CustomerId and CustomerName in one table and all the other customer data (e.g., sex, address, phone, etc) in another table?
