Designing our databases

With the third assignment now out, it's time to get together and start designing our databases!

We'll spend some time this afternoon (half an to 1 hour?) helping each other to design our database tables and relationships, using two easy steps:
  1. Create a simple list of every bit of data you will need to store (get feedback on this list in case other people come up with other ideas).
  2. Group your bits of data into your primary tables!
Simple huh? Even if you've already started your database, it's still worth reviewing the design with everyone - as if you find a problem now, it will save you time later!
