Hi, you have to break your table in pieces and create tables for items that occur more
than once. For example:
CREATE TABLE articles (
ID int(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
id_category UNSIGNED INT REFERENCES category,
HEADING varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' ,
BODY longblob ,
...)
CREATE TABLE pictures (
ID int(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
PICTURE longblob ,
id_article UNSIGNED INT REFERENCES articles)
CREATE TABLE category (
ID int(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
category varchar(30))
So, if you want to list all the pictures of the article 'Linux Rules!' you have to
write a query like:
SELECT heading, picture FROM articles, pictures WHERE pictures.id_article =
articles.id AND heading='Linux Rules!'
PS: A create the table category to illustrate how to put things in order with some
normal forms.
