Question design layout help

Hi,

I would appreciate any help and suggestions to the following;

I have to build a simple relational database in oracle, its the first one we are doing at work so it has to be good. The idea is: organizations provide service(s) for overweight people. Here is the info I have

- Organization info (address)
- Type of Programs
- targe audience
- lanugages offered at each oranization
- cost
- level of obiesity change (losing weight? gaining weight?)
- Obiesity level
- # of clients at each organization
- # of past clients

Any suggestions of Entities, Tables, Relationships? or just to get me going?


Thanks Janet

Re: design layout help

The main nouns in your text are probably entities:
Organization
Program
Language
Level of obesity change (maybe?)
Obesity level
Client

Relationships:
Lanugage "offered at" Organization
Client "at" Organization

Those are the obvious ones!
