    Lowell has already asked but the question remains unanswered: why do you want to hold the same data in two places at once?

    Hi,

    The reason is - The same data needs to exist in two related tables is bacause this is part of the web project consisting of many sub-pages. If the value in one sub-page is changed then that saved value in the main webpage should be updated accordingly.

    Each of these webpages are linked to individual tables so in fact the changes are to be made at the SQL level first.

    Surely the main page and the subpage should be reading the same value from the same table?

    Wish it was ? But no, as I mentioned before, each webpage is associated with a different table.

    The main webpage is populated using the tables which are linked to the sub-pages and so the same columns exist in different tables. This implies that the tables should be normalised so that if any value is updated using the sub-pages, the change should be reflected in the main webpage.
