Hi,

Which DBMS's have you tried this on? I think it is a good idea for development/test environments.

Update:

hmm... This feature appears to be a variant of a "VIEW". Basically your altered table would be this as a view: 

create view file_denormalized as
 select a.id, a.name, a.size, a.mimetype,
    b.playlength, b.artist,
    c.width, c.height
 from file a, mp3_properties b, image_properties c

[download]

For DBMSs that don't have support for the view, I think your module would be wonderful :)
