hi Bob,<br>you could store the 2 measurements with 2 different experiment ids, or use the same experiment for both.<br>Someone at some point asked for the 1-1 constraint, and I can't remember why. <br>I think it's best to have users enforce this if needed on the software level.<br>
<br>Any other thoughts?<br><br>-Naama<br><br>

Wasn't it just that if you are measuring two phenotypes, say leaf size and fruit weight, then you'd use two nd_experiments (each linked to the same stock) because you need two nd_protocols to describe the two assays?<br>
<br>We have no objections to relaxing the constraint though - I'm sure there are situations where 1 to many is needed.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 9:00 PM, Naama Menda <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nm249@cornell.edu" target="_blank">nm249@cornell.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>There was a request recently to drop this 1-1 relationship, and I can't figure out why it was requested in the first place .<br>
