The Area being Modelled is :-
Families and Wills
This is a Statement of the User Requirements.
Question: I want to normalize a huge flat database that deals with
the entire family tree and all the assignements in a will with text
agreement features for pronouns plurals and possesives.
all this data eventually ends up in a merge document to a wordprocessor form.
my family members are assigned to assignment posts in the will.
executor trustee.etc so I have a one to many relationship there.
In that say the spouse can have many posts.
Almost all the family members need details such as SSN, Birthdate and
he/she him_/her or his/her decided on by Gender.
The Children have to be counted as boys or girls.
Should I break up all the types of family members into seperate tables
and then somehow bring them together in a single file.
as it is I am well over 300 fields when only about twenty are ever used.
Actually I hardly know where to start on this.
The thing I HAVE will fill in the will but I know my design is rediculous.
I have been reading the tutorial and everything else but it is still overwhelming.
If I HAVE Children spouse uncle and Aunt all in different tables,
How do I get all the parts back together to make the will?
