Creating your MySQL Database: Practical Design Tips and Techniques
By :
In the previous chapters, we built a data collection, and started to clean it by proper naming. We had already introduced, in Chapter 1, the notion of a table, which logically regroups information about a certain subject. Some of the columns we gathered were grouped into tables during the naming process. While doing so, we noticed that the process of name checking was sometimes leading us to decompose data into more tables, like we did for the car_event and event tables. The goal of the present chapter is to provide finishing touches to our structure, by examining the technique of grouping column names into tables. Our data elements won't be living "in the air"; they will have to be organized into tables. Exactly which columns must be placed into which table will be considered here.
