Mainly I think to Rudy for kind comment. Having now started to understand some of the tutorials and grasped some part of the logic of table structure and information retrieval I have set out some tables. If it is possible can you say whether these look along the right lines?
For the poetry database: Main table: POEMS Poem_id, title, date_written, date_update[NULL] Classification tables: a number with the simple structure: LIMERICK Lim_id, poem_id HAIKU haiku_id, poem_id etc Publishing: PUBLISH publish_id, poem_id, bookspp_id [NULL], magspw_id[NULL], book_other_id[NULL], mag_other_id[NULL] BOOKSPP book_id, book_name MAGSPW magspw_id, mag_no, mag_date BOOK_OTHER book_other_id, book_other_name, book_other_publisher, book_other_address[NULL], book_other_email [NULL], book_other_fax[NULL}, book_other_phone[NULL], book_contact1_id[NULL], book_contact2_id[NULL] MAGS_OTHER (same columns as book_other) contacts: BOOK_CONTACT book_contact_id, book_other_id, book_contact_name[NULL], (book_contact) _address[NULL], _email[NULL], _fax[NULL], _phone[NULL], _change[NULL] MAGS_CONTACT (same columns as book_contact) submission record: SUBMIT submit_id, poem_id, submit_date, response_date[NULL], accept_date[NULL], reject_date[NULL], payment_offer[NULL], payment_receipt[NULL], payment_amt[NULL] BANKED banked_id, submit_id, date, amount ACCEPTED accept_id, submit_id, acceptance_date, publication_date, payment_due_date, payment_receipt_ref(publisher's)[NULL], overdue_note[NULL] book sales: BOOK_SALES_OTHER book_sales_other_id, bookspp_id[NULL], outlet_id, no_sold[NULL], value OUTLET outlet_id, name, type, outlet_contact_id OUTLET_CONTACT (as BOOK_CONTACT) BOOK_SALES book_sales_id, book_spp_id, sale_date, sale_value And I assume it is possible to have a script to automatically fill in the last table as sales occur.
