I'm starting to consider that. I haven't used views before but from what
I can tell they're basically a new table description with pointers back
to an existing table(s).

I'm afraid though that there might be a limitation in MySQL 5.0 with
views and SUM(). The word on the street is that any kind of functions 
inside your MySQL 5.0 view is a performance killer.

Of course, this doesn't apply to other DBs
