I am building an educational database. Most of my classes will be done over
one day or less of time. I currently have a table tblClasses that track the
class name, type of class, mandatory or not, and ID number. Then there is a
tblSession which tracks date of session, start time, end time, classroom, and
class number which is a combination of the ClassID, Session, and yes/no if it
is closed. Tied to the tblSession table is the tblInstructors that track the
instructor's ID number and times that instructor is involved with the class.
I do orientations for some staff that go beyond one day. I am trying to
figure out the best approach to doing this. I am tentatively thinking of
adding a yes/no field to tblClasses called event. At that point I start
bogging down. What I want and need is the following.
I need to tie all of the days to one orientation session. For example I
started an orientation today 11/29 that is to run until late tomorrow. Within
those two days I need to be able to show that people got certain components.
For example use of restraints, staging pressure ulcers, accudata
certification, and others. One of my issues is that orientation is different
depending on job skill level and job site. I don't want to totally create a
separate group of tables as I already have. I am thinking something like this
tblClasses = Orientation RNs
tblSession = Adding another field to track event day, 1st, 2nd, etc. This
field only available if event is marked in the tblClasses table.
Create a new table called tblComponents and basically track the same things
that are being tracked with the tblSessiion table.
Does anyone have any ideas for a better approach? What problems do you see
me running into? Thanks for your help and ideas.
