I have a table mytable( id, key, value). I realize that key is generating a lot of data redundancy since my key is a string. (my keys are really long, but repetititve) How do I build a separate table out that has (key, keyID) and then alternate my table to be mytable( id, keyID, value) and keyTable(keyID, key) ?
