Thanks... Now, Coding from a Model??

Thanks very much for a very clear and concise dissertation.

Now, having drawn up hte model in a modelling program, and output the
SQL tables, I am intimidated by how exactly to write the handling code (in PHP)?

Your mention that the parent must exist before the Child looks like a starting point.

Thanks.
:-)

Great article, except there seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding entities..

In SQLTeam.com via "Database object naming conventions" article, the following was put forward:

http://vyaskn.tripod.com/object_naming.htm

quote:

Tables:

Tables represent the instances of an entity. For example, you store all your customer information in a table. Here, 'customer' is an entity and all the rows in the customers table represent the instances of the entity 'customer'. So, why not name your table using the entity it represents, 'Customer'. Since the table is storing 'multiple instances' of customers, make your table name a plural word.

So, name your customer table as 'Customers'.
Name your order storage table as 'Orders'.
Name your error messages table as 'ErrorMessages'.
