    I don't like that idea because that way you need to join tables for simple queries restricted by dates.

    To that I always reply that no user should be looking at the information in that manner. Only a developer would have to do this, and they should have no trouble making the join. It's just a simple join.

    It's a simple join, but it's still additional work for the developer and the server.

    I agree that users shouldn't be querying the tables.
