Not having done much database design in the past, I have what should be
a fairly simple design question.
I usage of mySQL will revolve around a common group + user system. There
can be multiple groups and each group will contain some subset of users.
Each group will have a custom set of data whose values vary per user.
So basically a sample structure might look like this:
(some details intentionally left out)
Database
Table_Group_A
# of user columns
Table_Group_A_UserX
Column 1 Data
Column 2 Data
...
Column N Data
One probably incorrect thought on my part is that it would not be
necessary to store the usernames in Table_Group_A of those users who
belong to that group. But, thinking about it more, it seems like a good
idea. My original intent was to simply look for tables named
Table_Group_A_* and extract the username from the table name...
Does anyone have any recommends concerning this kind of design? I would
like to be able to lay things out in mySQL as cleanly as possible.
