Hi listErs! I need to design a database, under a hierarchical structure. This Mysql database aims to store a catalog in which I should be able to define:
CATEGORIES -> SubCategories -> Sub-SubCategories -> Product the only problem, is that I usually use cascaded indexes, but in this case I should use a different approach to allow the catalog for instance to hold products not only in final Sub-Subcategory, but under Subcategories or even directly under a category. What is more the same product should be appear in many different categories at the same time. I have no experience in designing such a structure, and I was wondering if someone can give me hint on how to start, basically if there is a tutorial, to be able to do it the best possible way, and If someone has an example, that would be much appreciated. well, I hope to have been clear enough thanx in advance --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
