What's the Plan for the
Table Design?
The
Receipt Form has two Forms, two Tables, two Combo Boxes and three
links. Always begin with the Tables. This lesson begins with a short
explanation of database design and normalization: There are
some really good guidelines for designing Tables.
Create
a Table for the Receipt Form
Make a
Receipt Table, tblReceipt.
Create a
Primary Key, ReceiptID a
Add a
Foreign Key (Primary Key to another Table): CustomerID.
The
Receipt Table also includes the date, which we will use in several
reports.
Create a Table for the MovieRentedSubform
Make a
MovieRented Table, tblMovieRented.
Create a
Primary Key, ReceiptID
Add the
following Foreign Keys:
ReceiptID
CustomerID.
MovieID
This Table
will inherit the DateRented from tblReceipt.
That's the
plan.
