help to make database structure
have a simple database with following tables:
MainOrderDetails Suppliers Clients Most of the information stays in MainOrderDetails table. I wish to create a new table or a field to do following job (we deal in fabrics) In one field we mention no. of colors. (till now we just used to mention only the no. of colors in the database). But now we wish to mention exact quantity of each color. So, we need some way to expand the fields according to no. of color entered by user. 2nd case is more complex. If the order is for printed fabric, user will enter no. of designs. And each designs will have some colors. We wish to store each design each color quanity in separate field. (the no. of designs and no. of colors and quantity of each color can vary for each order) Could somebody help me how to design this database? Do I need to use arrays to make it possible? |

You need a table to store all possible colors:
tblColors ColorID Color Now, you need one to show which colors the order consists of: tblOrderColors OrderID ColorID For designs, it's very similar: tblDesigns DesignID OrderID tblDesignColors DesignID ColorID Let me know if that gets you headed in the right direction.
