Help me design a database please

Recommended Posts

Hello all. I run the finances for an HOA and I have been looking all over the place for a tool that would help me keep track on HOA payment and I have just not been able to find anything that works well. I thought I would take a crack at making something myself. It has been many years since I have worked at creating a database and so I thought I would ask for help here. I need help creating the proper relationships with the correct primary and foreign keys so that my queries will pull up the correct information when I get to that part which I will also have to figure out how to do. Is this something you would be willing to help me figure out? What I would like to create is a better method of keeping track of the dues. Right now, I use a spreadsheet and an app that I paid 1.00 for. Both methods have flaws that i won't go into. What I want to make is something that will let me store the info by their unit number, log payments each month. Show how many months a unit may be behind in payment and the balance of that by month. Sometimes, I get a partial payment and I want that month to reflect that partial payment. If they make a payment for a previous month, I want to be able to apply it to that month instead of the current month and show the months that have not been paid.

 

 

Here is my initial thought. Can you help me improve this design?

 

Table Unit

unitNumber ( primary key )

firstName

lastName

owner

renter

emailAddress

 

Table Dues

ID

duesAmount

balance

paymentMethod

monthsMissed

paymentMonth

paymentDate

lateFee

Here are the bones of a model that could work for you


   +-------------+                               +---------------+
   |   unit      |                               |    renter     |
   +-------------+                               +---------------+
   | unit_id     |-----+                     +---|  renter_id    |
   | description |     |                     |   |  name         |
   +-------------+     |                     |   |  address      |
                       |                     |   +---------------+
                       |                     |
   +-------------+     |  +------------+     |
   |  calendar   |     |  |  rental    |     |
   +-------------+     |  +------------+     |
   | yearmth     |---+ |  | renter_id  |>----+    +--------------+
   +-------------+   | +-<| unit_id    |          |  payment     |
                     |    | rental_id  |-----+    +--------------+
                     +---<| ym_start   |     |    | payment_id   |
                          | ym_end     |     +---<| rental_id    |
                          | pay_pm     |          | pay_date     |
                          +------------+          | amount       |
                                                  +--------------+
   
The code below sets up some test tables and gives you a couple of queries to demonstrate its implementation.

        PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC
    ]);

//******************************************
    
function sql2html(pdo $db, $sql, $params=[])
{
    $stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
    $stmt->execute($params);
    $out = "<table border='1' style='border-collapse:collapse'>\n";

    } while ($row  = $stmt->fetch());

    return $out;
}
