Yep, understand about the 0 and checked the code no -1's. All is weird, but here is a situation that in the back of my mind I keep thinking maybe I need a many to many. The problem is I "again" can't quite conceptualize it. If I'm making a rehash again , I really apologize. Here is the situation:
I have a table that hold resumes , each member can store 3 resumes. the table: ResTable(myisam) AndNextID - (auto inc) just really a counter and PK MemberID - Resume Title - Resume - So if they hit their three a trigger which does a count on their records by their ID returns an error message. The problem I'm running into now is on updating. I'm really trying not to confuse app logic and mechanics with the database. So I'll cut to the quick. ResTable1 .......(same fields as above) ResTable2 ........(yadda yadda) Member_ResTable Member (well actually not sure what would be in here) Shawn, if your out there - I'm not ignoring your advice to stave off the coding for now , concentrate on the db design. I just haven't come to grips with it yet!
