I forgot to add Video (This has all the Primary key id from the tables below) Now does it work?
My question is how do I get the Primary keys into the video table? Do I just put them in and the database will know it should look in the other tables? How do I connect it? I read some books but it doesn't tell you how to do it. Thanks.
