DEVILofDARKNESS Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Okay, I started over completely with my idea of browsergame, because the mysql-tables sucked and it was terrible to make a code to generate the right value. So my question is: Are these good tables?

Maq Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 So my question is: Are these good tables? Good tables? That's a bit ambiguous. Your tables should be normalized to reduce space, eliminate redundant data, and for basic DB organization. Please read through this article - Database Normalization - and tell me what normal form you think your table is in and how you think you can improve. What made you question your tables in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEVILofDARKNESS Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think it's normalized, although I can't use foreign keys because I used MyIsam as storage engine instead of InnoDB, which is the only one that can handle foreign keys in PhpMyadmin. I just ask this question, because In my previous projects I just started with the code and from time to time I had to change whole the databse. And I want to make it as much easy as it can.

alco19357 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 So my question is: Are these good tables? Yes. But are they final? In order to have "good" tables, the programmer must go through and finalize all aspects of the integration, thus lessing the stress of changing up the table later on.

Ken2k7 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I don't think you can really "finalize" it. I'm sure as time progresses and a new idea pops up, there may be changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEVILofDARKNESS Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah I agree with Ken2k7. But I think these tables are good enough right now. Thanks everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
