Golf Course Maintenance
Back to the Data Model
A. The requirement is to design a Database for Golf Course Maintenance.

I'm going to try and design a Database for my son and it's is giving me headache already. I have designed a couple of simple Databases before but nothing like what he needs. What I'm confused about is this. My son is a director of golf for a resort (he just took over the 2 courses and their records are horrible). First, my possible tbl list looks something like this :- tblCourse CoursePK -- AutoNumber Course_Name ------------------------ tblZones ZonePK -- AutoNumber Zone_Name -- these would be ClubHouse, hole 1, hole 2..., Warehouse, garage, parking lot -------------------------- tblRegions RegionPK -- AutoNumber Region_Name -- flower bed, green, tee box, fairway, approach, aisle (warehouse, parking lot), pond -------------------------- tblAreas AreaPK -- AutoNumber Area_Name -- Cup(greens), Divits(greens, fairway...),Sprinklers (greens, fairways, flower beds), moss (all areas), parking spots, bins, I'm trying to see how my relationships would be. I have come up with different ways but all just seem unreliable to me. I have looked at designing tbls to connect them but not sure that is right or even if they need to have a relationship directly to one another. DANNY
