It depends how you plan to use it?
Maybe a helpful excercise for you to go through is to come up with some
use cases and see if you are storing all the data you'll need in a way
that makes it easy for you to use.

Hi,
Thanks for all the help: we have our postgreSQL server on a 'backend' machine, and the client on a webserver.
The application I want to develop is a school library, and as this is new to me, I come looking for ideas. Here's what I've done: on the backend, two users (in addition to 'pgsql'): dba and 'cdi' (the name of the library, as in the _premises_ where the library is located). I create a database 'library', owned by dba, but with cdi having update privileges (but not 'drop table' etc).
'library' has four tables...
1. users (with user_ids, surname, first_name, dob, address etc...)
2. stock (stock_id, ISBN, title...)
3. loans (loan_id, stock_id [foreign key to stock_id], date_due)...
Is there anything else that such a db would need ?
Thanks.
D.
