Hi Nancy

If you import a data table into your database there are a few drawbacks:

1: Data duplication. There is an extra set of records taking up disk space

2: If any changes are made on the tables they cannot be seen by the other party

So in linking tables space is saved and most importantly any changes in the table are automatically seen by those linked to the table

Hope this helps

Carlos
