Hi all,
I need to design apet database whee customers get regeistered and then pst their pet deals. They are either for sale or just rehoming.

Can someone please take a few moments to have a look at what I have done so far and tell me if it is any good.

This is my 6th time re-designing the tables.

Many thanks.

ps: owners can be either Private or part of an Organisation.



Customer table:
Customer#, C_Fname, C_Lname, C.address1, C.address2, C.postCode, C.fax
C.country, UKlocation, C.Hphone, C.Mphone, C.e-mail, (rehoming-services?
yes/no)


Organisation details:
customer#, Org#, Org.website, Org.AreaCoverd,
Org.activities, Org.addinfo, Org.Logo

Members of Org details:
Member#, Org#, Member_name, Member_email, member_Phone, member_ext.

Host table
customer#, host#, animals accepted?, max_no_days, price_per_day


Pets table:
pet#, picture, p_type, p_breed

Permenant pets for rehoming
pet#, pet_perm#, name, p.color, p.d_o_b, age,
p.size, p.personality1, p.personality2, p.personalty3, p.vaccination,
p. allergies, microchipped.

pets for sale:
Pet#, sale#, no.ofMales, PriceperMale, No.ofFemales, PriceperFemale,

what is the difference between a customer and a member? can a customer be more than one member? can a member be more than one customer?

what is the difference between a customer and a host? can a customer be more than one host? can a host be more than one customer?

and i don't understand how you can have "number of males" attached to a given pet

do you have an entity-relationship diagram for this structure? that would really help you straighten out which foreign keys go where

see Data Modeling for an excellent tutorial
