Re: Re: Linked Table Structure

My background is only with MS Access where everything is drag & drop. In that case you can link fields and they will populate automatically. If you have Access, it might be an easier way to set up the database, enter the data and then export it to MySQL or whatever. Sajid wrote:

I am not aware of linked tables too much, is this what is called linked table? Do i have to enter values on both tables to link them? Or can some columns of one table be linked with columns of another table in some other way? If no, then thanks for all who helped me :) --sajid "Adam Bregenzer" <adam@bregenzer.net> wrote in message news:1076431365.2365.243.camel@arcon...

You can write an admin interface to manage adding the rows to your tables if you don't want to do it manually. This seems like as close to a linked list as you are going to get: each item in the child table has a link (id column) to it's parent. You reference that to find children/parents. This is generally the way relational databases are structured. Maybe if you expand on what you mean by a linked list we can provide a different answer. -- Adam Bregenzer adam@bregenzer.net http://adam.bregenzer.net/
