Hi, I am working on a web app. The app previously had an admin section with a generic aspnet_users table. We have since added a blog (using Presstopia) which created it's own user table. Is there any way to tie these two tables together? I would like to do this instead of going through and changing all kinds of code to combine the tables... so i was wondering how to tie them together to make them essentially the same table without explicitly doing so... thanks.

make a view which joins the 2 tables together....and make it look like 1 table?

issues with delete/inserts/updates however will apply (basicall views only allow inserts/update/delete to 1 table at a time...so this strategy is only useful for read-only views.)

you're still (probably) going to have to change code to use the views anyway....try and see if it solves your problems!

Is this also how you populate fields of related tables which are foreign keys such as custeromerID, orderID, customerOrderID ?
