…The only other reasonable option is change your model and requirements to 
something less complex.

 

 

Seriously, get yourself the books I have recommended and study them  BEFORE you 
continue attempting to design your database.

You need a firm understanding of logical design & flow, otherwise you will be 
wasting your time. 

That's what I'm doing.. Studying.. asking for some help to get a better 
understand.... isn't this the purpose of this mail list?

 

​The purpose of this list is whatever people are willing to make of it - within 
reason.  I share the sentiment that your particular method of education is 
becoming burdensome to the people who volunteer their time on these lists to 
answer questions.  As the alternative is to simply stop replying to your emails 
be grateful that someone was at least willing to tell you to try other avenues 
of education.

+1   +1   +1   +1:  Lucas – David really nails it: you’ve stopped relying on 
yourself and are relying on the mercy and generosity of strangers to solve your 
problems.  It takes a lot of time to read, dissect, understand and then comment 
on your (or anyone’s) emails, and you’ve proven adept at consuming much of the 
available oxygen on the list.  Please a bit more considerate - you’ve received 
an amazing amount of solid guidance and advice.  I can tell you that when I see 
your name as the author, I now normally delete the email – that’s NOT the 
response you want, right?

 

I’ve worked with a bunch of junior developers over the years, some of whom hit 
a wall and just sit there, waiting for someone to fix them.  Those junior 
developers “never” become senior developers because their peers soon lose 
interest in collaborating with them, if you catch my drift…
