[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - Re: USERS and ROLES - why in seperate tables?

[PeterJ]

You could put them all in one table, but that breaks some relational database rule (first-normal form?). Usually, if a user has multiple roles, in the Roles table you have one row per role, with each row having user name and role columns.  Thus 'select role from roles where user=xxx' actually returns multiple records.
