Relationship Question
Ken Wykoff 
       
8 months ago
Richard, I'm having trouble figuring out how to change names for my relationships on my tables. On a One-to-Many Relationship where you have Children to Parents, is this a good choice to make one from mine as Author to BookTitle? Or maybe I should be using a search form to do this? I want to find the books in my library by one author at a time.

Above are the tables I made, and they may or may not be missing things I need to include in each table.

Oh I think I posted this in the wrong place, sorry if I did.

I would take a look at KindleLibraryT and suggest the following changes:
BookID makes sense. However, we can then also omit ASIN and TitleName, because this information is already available in BookT.
We could also omit AuthorLastName and AuthorFirstName if we add AuthorID to KindleLibraryT.
Instead of PublisherName, PublicationDate and PurchaseDate, PublisherID would be a useful foreign key.
Why all this? Normalization
I think the following video fits perfectly here: https://599cd.com/blog/display-article.asp?ID=2198

Lars Thank you so much for your reply. I was concerned about using more than one ID in a table but I completely forgot that they would be Foreign keys listed as a number and not an autonumber. I will get back to you on this to let you know how that works out. Again, thank you! Ken

I just have a couple more things to add, and then, for the most part, it will be functional. I still have book covers to add, and I am working on that after rewatching what Richard said on a lesson about not attaching them and using the method of linking them from a stored folder on the computer. Then I will work again on another query to work out how to find all the books in the library of one particular author or perhaps easier to do a search form. Either way, I love learning all of this.

Search form is the way to go.
You are getting there.

Sami Thanks, Sami, I am really trying to nail this one down.
