Hi, I've the following database structure of 4 tables for geographical information
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`country` ( `country_id` INT NOT NULL , `country_code` CHAR(2) NOT NULL , `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`country_id`) , UNIQUE INDEX `country_code_UNIQUE` (`country_code` ASC) ) ENGINE = ndbcluster DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8 COLLATE = utf8_unicode_ci; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`region` ( `region_id` INT NOT NULL , `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , `country_code` CHAR(2) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`region_id`) , INDEX `FK_country_code` (`country_code` ASC) , CONSTRAINT `FK_country_code` FOREIGN KEY (`country_code` ) REFERENCES `mydb`.`country` (`country_code` ) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION) ENGINE = ndbcluster DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8 COLLATE = utf8_unicode_ci; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`city` ( `city_id` INT NOT NULL , `region_id` INT NOT NULL , `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , `latitude` DOUBLE NOT NULL , `longitude` DOUBLE NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`city_id`) , INDEX `FK_region_id` (`region_id` ASC) , CONSTRAINT `FK_region_id` FOREIGN KEY (`region_id` ) REFERENCES `mydb`.`region` (`region_id` ) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION) ENGINE = ndbcluster DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8 COLLATE = utf8_unicode_ci; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`district` ( `district_id` INT NOT NULL , `city_id` INT NOT NULL , `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL , `latitude` DOUBLE NOT NULL , `longitude` DOUBLE NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY (`district_id`) , INDEX `FK_city_id` (`city_id` ASC) , CONSTRAINT `FK_city_id` FOREIGN KEY (`city_id` ) REFERENCES `mydb`.`city` (`city_id` ) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION) ENGINE = ndbcluster DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8 COLLATE = utf8_unicode_ci; Basically I'm wanting to add language support for each table to translate the name field in each instance. All other information will remain the same. Therefore is my best approach to add some sort of look-up table with the translation...? Thanks Neil
