Data model recommendation

Question

I'm working on modeling some database tables for several
existing small
applications that are on three different access databases
that I'm now
supporting. The three access databases aren't normalized and
do not run
efficiently. So, I'm migrating these databases under one
enterprise
solution.i.e. SQL Server
The three databases are used to hold "latest news" or "what's
new" items for
three separate websites, but really fall under the same
umbrella. The three
sites are all within the same company and all link to one
another and have
many of the same features. The "latest news" areas hold the
following
pieces of data:
Title
Description
Full-length article of text
or
a link to a PDF file, word document, excel spreadsheet or zip
file
or
a URL to an existing page within the site that was recently
updated
So, the format of the "latest news" section will include
"The Title of the item"
"A brief description of the item"
and a "link to read the full article of text" or "a link to
the file" or "a
link to an existing page in the site"
I'm looking to construct the database using the following
tables:
CREATE TABLE LatestNews
id int [IDENTITY (1,1)][NOT NULL][PRIMARY KEY],
title varchar(50) [NOT NULL],
description varchar(100) [NOT NULL],
bodytext varchar(8000) [NULL], --what data type can I use to
hold more than
8000 characters?
Filename int [NULL],
URL int [NULL],
Group int [NOT NULL]
CREATE TABLE Filenames
id int [IDENTITY (1,1)][NOT NULL][PRIMARY KEY],
filename varchar(100) [NOT NULL],
CREATE TABLE HyperLinks
id int [IDENTITY (1,1)][NOT NULL][PRIMARY KEY],
URL varchar(100) [NOT NULL],
CREATE TABLE Group
id int [IDENTITY (1,1)][NOT NULL][PRIMARY KEY],
groupname varchar(50) [NOT NULL],
I'm going to give each group manager their own admin page to
add their
"latest news" items, update items or delete items.
I was interested in any suggestions or problems with the
database structure
I'm setting up. Any thoughts on ways to improve it, normalize
the database
properly and perform in the best way possible.
If I can provide any additional information, please let me
know.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Hello Anzy.
why do I need
data:lo_myclas type ref to cl_irm.
lo_myclass = wd_comp_controller->lo_irm .
Could'nt I acess the methods also directly via
wd_comp_controller->lo_irm->method(  )   ?
Is it just a shorter way to write it down?
Kind regards.
