I am supposed to create a hotel reservation system that allows you to make a reservation either with a hotel package or without and calculate billing. However I am at lost for where to begin. I have made a couple of sorry attempts but I am having problems identifyind the tables that are needed and getting them related. Since this is supposed to be generic, general design suggestion would be greatly appreciated heres what i have come up with so far.I think I have the basic concept but wil I be ale to query for available room easily which this approach?
