The users do not have to know at all. Once a user refers to entries in an
SQL table that is not intact, the SQL engine will send a system message
to the user (if that is enabled by the DBA), to inform him/here that the
table referenced is being maintained, and his request will take a little
longer than normal to process. In breif, a well administered database
based on Client/Server architecture with a descent SQL engine, will
