Suppose I have three tables Actor, Movie, Producer with following attributes
Actor(Id,ActorName,Bio)
Producer(Id,ProducerName,Bio)
Movie(Id,Name,Description,ActorName,ProducerName)
There can be many actors in a movie and actor can act many movies, same goes with producer. How to effectively decompose/create new tables to store data. I tried creating a new table with following schema
ActorMovie(Id, MovieId, ActorId)
but failed as there can be multiple actors in a movie.
CodePudding user response:
I think I have a solution for you. As I understand from your description, your table should be look like below.
Actor(Id,ActorName,Bio);
Producer(Id,ProducerName,Bio);
Movie(Id,Name,Description);
ActorMovie(Id, MovieId, ActorId);
ProducerMovie(Id,MovieId, ProducerId);
And Relationship Diagram should be look like this.
Note: Symbols of relationship might not be correct but connections should look like above.
