I'm helping my dad with a database he's putting together for work and I'm trying
to figure out how to get around this problem:
- he's got a person table and an apartment table (it's a retirment home)
- To cut to the chase I'm trying to find an elegant way to pair up two married
people from the people table (i.e. Tom Jones and Nora Jones are a married couple
and each exist as a seperate record in the people table) So I can then refer to
the couple as a single entity
- some ideas
- I could give each person a marrige ID number and then pair up the numbers
- I could use a Spouse ID field that links to the appropriate record in the
person table (but that makes the pairing subroutine a bit harder)
Any ideas about how I should do this?
