At a minimum I would create a third table to relate or link clients to
project managers.  All it would contain is the UID�s from the other two
tables.  Doing it this way gives you good flexibility.  I hope that makes
sense.

I say minimum because in the needs you may have in the future it might also
be worth thinking about creating a projects table.  In that case you can
relate the clients and project managers to the projects table.  In that case
I would create two relate-link tables with UID�s.  One containing projects
and clients, the other projects and project managers.

Subject: DB design and CF question

This will undoubtly be simple for someone out there, but I have been out of
the loop for some time now and am having trouble with my db design.

My problem concerns two tables, one called PROJECTMANAGERS - which will have
from 6 to 25 records in it. The second table is CLIENTS - 100 records or so.
Primary keys and all that are fine. THe issue I am haveing is how would i be
able to associate a project with a given set of project managers, so that
when I query a client and put up that client it shows the 5 or 6 or 12
project mangers working with that client from the projectmanagers table. I
am thing I would have to store the id's of the projectmanagers in the
client;s table, but how would I do that not know how many a given client
will have. is there someway I can store them all in one field of the clients
table?
