Then you are definitely approaching this the wrong way. What you want to
have is a table with all the courses and a table with all the times and
rates for the courses. Having separate tables for every course is going to
be completely unmaintainable going forward. Again, I'd urge you to stop
right now and learn about database design and database normalization. There
are many good books and web sites on the subject. Ben Forta's SQL book is
very good and concise. The CF Web Application Construction Kit books also
cover this in detail. However you do it, you need to hold off on going any
further until you get a grasp on these ideas because this is critically
important when building an application that uses a database.
