I am trying to plan for a database that allready contains repeating fields
and existing data.
eg.
Spec 1 Spec 2 Spec 3 RSpec1 RSpec2 MembID
1 4 15 16 20 001
1 3 17 20 19 002
There are 200 records in the members table.
This is an extract for a table where membID is the key field.
Each member can have many specializations but in a particular orders as you
see but the same specialization can be shared by different members.
This means we have a many to many relation, we need to convert it to 2 one
to many relations.
This is the key for what the specialisations mean:
Code Description
0. Nothing
1. Accounting Profession
2. Accounting Theory
3. Financial Accounting and Reporting
4. International Accounting
5. Auditing
6. Finance Theory
7. Business Finance
8. Financial Markets
9. Information Systems
10. Computing
11. Education
12. Government, and Public Sector
13. Industries and specific organisations
14. Financial Institutions
15. Management Accounting
16. International Management Accounting
17. Methodology and Methods
18. Quantitative Methods and OR
19. Taxation
20. Other
How do i account for 1NF, create a suitable design and link the text
description with the codes??
