I need some help. I have to design a relational database for a small bookstore that operates 3 stores.Books are sold by a sales person to a customer through an order. A order may consist of one or more books but assume that for a given order, all the books sold are all from one store and are sold by one salesperson.

I have upsized from Access 2003 to SQL Server 2008 R2 using upsizing wizard. Everything works fine. But I don't see relationship in SQL SErver 2008 R2 if I go to database. But I set relationship in Access 2003 before upsizing it.
Amso I don't see relationship (diagram) in Access 2003 , which I was able to see before.
So do I need to again recreate the relationship amongst the table in Access 2003 Or SQL SErver 2008 R2 ? I thought, if you link tables, everything should be taken care but i don't see relationship structure any more.
Hello I would like to make a table Relationships diagram to enforce referential integrity.
I wanted to make this diagram in the Back End container but I realized if I want to delete a corrupt table I have to delete the relationships as well.
(My clients might need to delete an individual corrupt table and replace it with a previous copy. This will cause the relationship to be removed and I don't expect my clients to re-establish this relationship.)
My question is: What if I put the relationship diagram in the Front End container? Will this enforce all the integrity rules? I assume if I put the diagram on the front end ... the user can replace tables in the Back End and the relationships diagram will be unaffected on the FE.
Any input on this topic would be appreciated thank you.
Hi i'm building a database with access for a computer business which sells computer products. The database is going to be from the point of view of the business not the customer. I'm having some trouble with the Relationship diagram, so far i have done this http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?i...atabasefa1.jpg
The aim of the database so for the customer to purchase product, and the business records this transaction. Its from the point of view of the business not the customer. The business uses a supplier for its products and has no physical stock on hand.
Using access 2010; anyway to create an er diagram from an existing database? I have inherited a fairly large database and need to make changes to some field properties and need to find out where these fields are located. I know I can go into tools and run the documenter but doesn't give me an easy format to look at.
I am trying to design a database that would help track the daily supply of natural gas on multiple contracts. Each contract has a supply side and a delivery side which are equal in volume (when fuel is taken into account). My problem begins with the fact that each contract has a different capacity. That capacity is a total of the capacities of each point on the contract. Some points are on multiple contracts so they have different capacities on different contracts. I can’t figure out how to setup the relationships in order to make this database successful. Any hints?
(see sig for details on what I'm capable of before you toss code at me ;P )
Here's my current setup:
Table1(Assignments) Instructor <related to Instructor table, pulls data from there) Academic Year Fallcourse# (where # = 1, 2, 3, 4), (course pulled from Courses table) Fallcourse#comp Fallcourse#notes Wintercourse# Wintercourse#comp Wintercourse#notes Springcourse# Springcourse#comp Springcourse#notes
Table2(Courses) Coursename (unique) Coursetype (required, elective) Courselevel (ugrad, grad, MAS)
Table3(Instructors) lastname firstname empID rank
The purpose of the database is to assign courses to various professors and append supplementary compensation and, if necessary, notes to each course assignment. Each professor can be assigned up to 4 courses (or something to take the place of a course) per quarter.
My problem. I have created a quite a few reports with this setup including an academic year schedule, compensation reports for the year, sabatical / course release listings, etc. I am having trouble with what I am hoping to be my final report.
Requirements for the final report: List of all courses for an academic year (filter by year) group by level (easy) group by type (easy) append instructor's name to the end
Report/Relationship Problem:
I can't seem to set the relationship to allow more than one field's data into the report. I can only show courses from the [Fallcourse1] because I can't relate multiple fields from the "Assisgnments" table to one field in the "Courses" table. Effectively, that's what I want to do, but my mind's burnt and can't seem to figure it out.
Maybe you guys could help me out? Suggestions, questions - all welcomed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to produce an application diagram.
Sort of a map of an app, what data it hold in laymans terms rathers than table and field definitions. What forms do what, and how the whole application fits together.
Is there an easy way to get an explanation of where each query within the Db gets it's data from?
I'd ideally like to get a hierachical model - be it as a diagram, text, or whatever - along the lines of
QueryABC gets data from QueryD and QueryE QueryE gets data from Table1 QueryD gets data from QueryX QueryX gets data from Table2
I've only just needed to look at the existing queries in this Db in any detail and I'm hoping there's some faster way to sort this out, rather than manually opening and listing each one.
Hello forum,I am new to designing databases and am excited to learn everything I can. I have read about normalization and relational structures and just need some assurance that I’m on the right track. I’m not looking for someone to design this database for me but am looking for someone to help critique what I have so far which is some user requirements and a RSD. My RSD is attached below.What I am building is a database to track carpets that have been cleaned in rooms which are in buildings. Employees clean carpets in rooms in a building. Many employees can be assigned to a carpet cleaning project. Employee’s record which building they are in, what room's carpet they are cleaning, what day and time they started and ended cleaning, what materials and method of cleaning they used, and the reason for the cleaning. Depending on the reason, the customer is charged a certain rate per hour of carpet cleaning. I am hoping to be able to query from this database to be able to answer, when the last room was cleaned, how long did it take to clean a room, and how much did it cost to clean a room. Some questions I have are: What attributes should be included in the PROJECTDETAIL table and not in the PROJECT table? When should I create a table showing DETAILS of an entity? How do I know when I should have an associative table or correlation table? Am I on the right track in creating this database? Thanks for your help!
I am developing one software in access 2000. Now where i stuck up is ... Customer is asking for " process flow chart" (steps in block diagram). The requirement is as below..
For a pen there are below operations 1. moulding 2. cleaning 3. polishing 4.assembly
Now these flow of operation is to be presented in block diagram. Please suggest me how do I do this in accesss? (in form or report)...
hi everyone, this is first post, i have this task and i think i have the solution but im not sure, so plsplsplspsssssssss someone help!!!! its called class scheduling. below is the physical model. i need to make the logical, i have been told that course and section share a many to many relation as well as section and faculty and also bwee/ faculty and course, thus the creation of the intersection tbl, the OFFERINGS TABLE. i have inserted the foreign keys (FK's) into that table (which are the primary keys for the 3 main tables). what i need to know is that: 1. do i need anymore FK's? 2. wen i make my logical diagram, do i show it like the way i have shown it in the word file? i made it as such that course and section have the PK of the 2 tables and are now FK which allow duplication ie 1 course can have many sections etcc pls helpppppppppppp
Courses table CourseID (PK) Title Credits
Sections table SectionsID (PK) Days Time
Faculty table FacultyID (PK) Firstname Lastname department Title FullTime or partime hiredate
what means a table to appear as an entity on the diagram? And how to identify the cardinality of a relationship and how to specify which is mandatory and which is optional.
All I have taken over a database. It has dozens of queries. Is there a tool or code that I can use that would quickly diagram the querie like a flowchart telling me what queries are related and the steps and so on.
1.) pink arrow // I've changed the titel in a diagram with vba ... is there also a methode to move the position of the titel with vba ( left-center or rigth ? )
2.) red arrow // maybe its because of the titel placement.I would like to change the size of a diagram with VBA code to have the diagram fit nicely to a given space best thing would be if there would be a possibility to resize the diagram in the given space
I am creating an EPOS system for a bookstore and I have a many to many relationship between the transactions table (tbl_transactions) and the products table (tbl_products) using a link table (tbl_linktblproductstransac). The below diagram shows what i mean below:
I made it many to many because 1 transaction can have many products on it and 1 product can be on many transactions.
Now what I need to know is how will i make records with more than one product on one transaction (in the table itself or in a transaction form). I would really appreciate if someone could help. Thanks :) and have a good Easter
I am currently taking a database design class using Access 2003 and am looking for some help. I am trying to draw a dependency diagram before I create the tables based on the following attributes / fields in one table named Student:
StudentNumber, StudentName, StudentMajor, student's AdvisorNumber, AdvisorName, AdvisorOfficeNumber, AdvisorPhone, student's NumberCredits and student's Class (freshman, sophomore, etc.)
So far I have identified the Primary Keys as StudentNumber and AdvisorNumber and this is what I have:
Table #1 - Student = Student Number functionally determines Student Name, StudentMajor (?) NumberCredits and Class Table #2 - Advisor = Advisor number functionally determines Advisor name, office number and phone
The problem I run into is with the the StudentMajor / Advisor / StudentNumber relationship. Since one student can have many majors and therefore many advisors since there is only one advisor per major, and each advisor has many students I am assuming it is a many-to-many relationship.
The problem I am having is determining the third table (and fourth if there will be one) and the relationship between StudentMajor / Advisor / StudentNumber.
Should StudentMajor be included as functionally dependent on StudentNumber? If it is there would be redundancy due to multiple entries in that field for each row so I guess I can't include it actually. :confused:
Wouldn't there have to be another attribute named AdvisorDept for this to work properly....that way there is a relationship between Advisor and their department they work in so I can link the student's major to the advisor :confused:
Any pointers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hi All, I am new to access and this forum, so hello all.
I am trying to build a database to keep records of my bird sightings. As you might have surmised; I am a birder.
I have come to a holt on creating a complex relationship between the Bird Entry From and the table that contains a list of British birds.
In Bird Entry From two of the fields are for entry of the bird name, one field being the Common Name and the other being the Latin Name. They are both drop down lists that contain all the birds from the table, this being done by import data. The table that holds the bird list has two fields One is called Common Name and the other is called Latin Name, this being the same as the filed names in question in the Bird Entry From
This is where I am coming unstuck. What I would like to happen is that when I enter a bird in the Common Name field (either by typing until the bird is auto entered from the drop down or using the drop down to find the bird) it automatically enters the Latin name in the Latin Name field and visa-versa, but I have become very frustrated with trying to do this.
Am I wasting my time? Or is it possible? And if so would anyone be kind enough to tell me how?
Video (Vcode, VTitle, Date Made, Director, Genre) Copy (CopyNum, Vcode, Due Date) Loan (LoanMemNum, CopyNum, Ldate, In, Out) Member (MemNum, MName, MAddress) Reservation (VCode, resMemNum, Resdate, CollectDate. Collected Not Collected)
I've three tables in my database, tblInfo, tblSavedInfo & tblCountry. for tblInfo I have this fields - Ref: Cost: RefCountry: for tblSavedInfo I have this fields - Ref: Cost: Country: for tblcountry I have this fields - RefCountry: Country:
My problem is when I save from tblinfo to tblSavedInfo I want it from RefCountry on tblInfo check wich country is on tblCountry and save on tblSavedRef the country instead the refCountry.
As tblInfo has about 200.000 rows I need something to make it quick. Is there anyone that can help me please.
Any advice? I've tried some things and no success with linkage
Rooms Table RoomID Room No Type Desc
Project Table Project ID Project Desc Faculty Assignment Project Grant No Sponsor Project End Date
Student Table Student ID Students
Many rooms with many projects, many of those projects in many of those room, with many students working on those projects. Many rooms, many projects, many students. Argh... I've already tried two junctions between rooms and projects // and projects and rooms
