...and then Jennifer Goodie said... % % Sounds a lot like the grape blends in different wines question posted last % week. :) Well, hully gee. I never knew songs and wine could have so much in common -- and church songs at that. Well, when I say it out loud it does make more sense ;-) % % You'll need a cross ref table with a one to many relationship and possibly a % field that says what the person did. % % like % | SongID | ComposerID | Role | % +--------+-------------+--------+ % | 1 | 1 | Poem | % | 1 | 2 | Music | % | 1 | 3 | Poem | % | 1 | 1 | Lyrics | Ahhh... I get it. I don't have to point to the artist(s) from the songs table; I'll just point to the song and an artist as many times as necessary in this other table. Yet more adventures in normalization! Next I'll learn how to write a query that will return me Title Composer(s) Arranger(s) Author(s) ... Song Joe Bill Jane Other Jim Sue Bill Alice Sam More Jane Joe Alice ready for display :-) % % % Just a suggestion, You might want more fields or different names. The proof of concept is what I needed. % % Search on last week's answers, I believe the thread was called "Database I did; thanks. I've come away much enlightened. % Design" or something like that. I'm sure there's not a lot of posts that % mention grapes and wines on the list. Yeah :-) Thanks! to all & HAND mysql query, :-D - -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
