Hai there.
Basically in class we are making databases using MS ACCESS.
I know how to make the database if I was jsut there making it, But the homework expects me to design it on paper!
So I need to get my head around where I would put each different section.

Here's what I have wrote down;
Quote:
Design the tables, fields + relationships for the DVD rental shop.
Database about customers, DVDS and rentals.
In addition, It needs to suggest titles of interest for customers, E.G Someone likes horror - Show them all horror films.
List things with Tbl_(enter text here) - AUTONUMBER/TEXT etc.
Frms:
Title - Text
Horror - Text
I dunno if that makes sence, If ANYONE can get their head around it, Can you hep :)

+REP for all help!

Thanks xox

Due thursday -cry

How can you get a GCSE grade with that seeing as you have to follow the syllabus? :S and phpMyAdmin is just an SQL admin. |:

Erm not really.

Perhaps you guys should post constructively. The task I was given was along the lines of having data in a database and it must be accessed/edited/deleted etc blah blah. My project fits all of the criteria and therefore I'm not 'using big words' I'm telling you what I'm doing.

They got you doing relationships?! I wasn't taught that till ICT AS level :S Or am I thinking of something else? Is that when you link certain tabs to matching tabs in other tables, so the same data that's inserted is used in both?

Infact, I think I might of learnt that lol. I might be thinking of the other thing that looks like relationships (but isn't :P)
