Discuss solving problems with a “Driver” table:
Some problems might require you to set up a table with a list of values that will need to be CROSS JOINed with other tables in the database
Called a driver table because its values drive the results you get
Driver tables can be used for categorization of values across a set of defined ranges
Used to “pivot” data and return results that look more like a spreadsheet
Discussion
