i was looking at your schema. i'm not a database pro, but in master tables i
see you have made the serial id as the primary key. i do it this way:
id serial unique
name varchar(25) not null
primary key is name - after all, you are going to search this on name arent
you? or is there some advantage in doing it your way?
also, how did you get that neatly formatted output of the schema?
