Database Normalization

Recommended Posts

I have worked through my database trying to seperate the fields out, to normalize my database.  Here are the various fields and tables, as I see they should be set up.  I would appreciate any assistance, in making sure that I have it set up in the most efficient manner.

I have a form set up where an employee will fill it out when an engine fails.  The pertinent information is filled out, including images, then a copy of the information is sent to other employees (selected in the form).  The Manager will then assign a purchase order to this work order, along with his comments.  The employee can then add remarks to update the work order and when the job is completed, he will include a final report including the total cost of repairs.

Table 1 - Work Order
Work Order # (generated using MMhhmmss format), Serial #, Hours on Unit, Site, Starts on Engine, Time Generated, Issue, Severity, Resolution, Safety, Assistance Required, Purchase Order #, Manager Comments,  ID (Foreign Key)

Table 2 - Employee
Name, Email Address, Password, Position (manager or technician), ID (Foreign Key)

Table 3 - Images
Upload 1, Upload 2, Upload 3, Upload 4, ID(Foreign Key)

Table 4 - Parts
Parts # 1, Parts Description 1, etc. through to room for seven listings, and ID (Foreign Key)

Table 5 - Comments
Update Remarks, ID(Foreign Key)
