If in my database tables that will be used to create drop down lists
I have a list of 1-13 titles, each one has many subsections
e.g
1. DCC (main sections
1/1 gen
1/2 miners
1/3 questionnaires
should these then be in separate tables, how best is it to display them as for the first table im wrong.
Filing Room indextbl
file id(primary key)
filing room subject
and not sure for the second table to cope with the subsections
file id
filing room sub sections??
I will have 4 table stored, all are road types
District
ARoads
BRoads
CRoads
they all have different lists of roads per category.
e.g Districts - Ch, Der, Du, Dh
A - a1, a177, a181
B - b1287, b 1289
C - c10 , c15, c184 etc
Can I do
District tbl - distrct
A road Tbl - road number
B road Tbl - road number
C road Tbl - road number
then Road tbl
Disrict
A Road
B Road
C Road
(linked together to the toher original tables, lookup)
In 3 tables, i want these to have a road numbered stored in each record, chosen via a form with drop down lists.
e.g
RC tbl
road
rc number
date
PLItbl
road
claimant
accident date
how can i design it better as i know its wrong
On my program i will have district, aroads,broads,croad buttons
When selected a forum will load and will have two drop down lists already from stored tables, so e.g when B roads is selected, its drop down list will hold all of the b road numbers stored and so want that road number selection and other fielsds posted into another database table
e.g
rctbl
road
rc number
date
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to tidy up what ive planned, I havent set up any database or tables as yet, but know what i want my program to do, in relation to what information will be submitted, where it will be stored, its just organising these tables with stored already determined data
hope u can help
thanks
