[SOLVED] Structuring a database for this scenario...

I have a client that wants to display a lot of videos categorized by:

 

Client > Shoot1, Shoot2, Shoot3 etc.. > tape1, tape2, tape3 etc..

 

so here I made a quick example sub menu of how the structure would be:

ROTC
Ranger------|
Airborne    |----shoot1
ASB         |----shoot2
            |----shoot3
            |----shoot4-----|
            |----shoot5     |---tape1
            |----shoot6     |---tape2
		    |---tape3
		    |---tape4
	            |---tape5

 

 

similar to this web site: http://www.dvidshub.net/ but rather than B-roll, briefings, greetings etc under "Videos" thats where the client list would be. Can I get some tips on how to go about doing this as dynamic as possible? Thanks guys!

 

 

You can fill in the details but it would be something like the following:

 

Branch

---------------

Id

Name

 

Shoot

---------------

Id

Name

Branch_Id

 

Tape

---------------

Id

Name

Shoot_Id

 

 

 

This would give you your top level (branch of military?), it would allow you to link as many "shoots" to a particular branch as you would like (Branch_Id) and it would allow you to link as many tapes to a shoot (Shoot_Id) as you would like.

That seems like a very logical way of doing it. I appreciate your input  ;)

 

If anyone else has other suggestions of different ways to do this I would still be interested in seeing. If not I'll 'topic solve' this in a few hours.
