Timetable for school department

I wish to design a timetable for a school department. The timetable will have rooms (various), times (various), lecturers and subjects. There must not be a clash in rooms whereby a room cannot be booked at the same time as it is already booked.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance:-)

You will need to create a RoomsTime entity. This entity will have two attributes: RoomsID and TimeID. You then need to make both of them into the compound key for the entity. This will ensure that no two rooms will have the same time scheduled. Each class can then have a foreign key that refers to the compound key.

Thank you for your help. Have been trying to find a resource which might show the tables and relationships involved but no luck. Have been working on it a while and running out of time. I very much appreciate your help though as that will most definately help.

Kind Regards
Marian

Obviously not. So why don't you kick off and tell us what you made so far? This may catch someone attention and then that person may be willing to help you rather doing everything from scratch for someone who doesn't show any interest.
