jcstanley Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi I have a mysql database which is used to run a club website, but I am not quite sure how to set up some relationships. I have a table called ' Members' containing all the members names etc. The club has a number of committees and each member can belong to more than one committee. Therefore I have created another table called 'Committees' listing all the different committee names. Thats where I get stuck. How do I associate the members with the committees. What I intend to do is have a webpage for each commitee displaying all of the members whithin that committee. Hope this is making sense. If you need more info please just ask. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijayfreaks Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi.. For that create one more table that will contain member_id and committees_id as foreign key from relative table. Regards, Vijay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pranav_kavi Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 i suppose u wud b ving a memberID in ur 'Members' table and committeeID in ur 'Committee' table. Have a join table like 'committee_members' that has 2 columns-memberID & committeeID .so this table wud store the mapping information. hope tis helps..
