Hi everyone,
I'd like to know how you would set up the following:
I've set up a MySQL database with 600 products. I set it up where each
product belongs to a category. However, now we want to take it further
where different products can now belong to more than 1 category.
How would you create this?
1. Would you duplicate the records for items that belong to more than 1
category and change the categories in those duplicated records?
2. Would you enter multiple categories into 1 column?
3. Would you create a different database that tracks categories and creat a
many to many relationship?
Thanks,
Doug Coning
