Hi,
We would like to create a training database in SQL which we can use for our internal training sessions of our employees. Unfortunately I do not have any experience in database design and did not have a chance to buy and read a proper book about this topic.
I have just started to create a database after reading a few tutorials online and would like you to review my design and provide me with some feedback if I have started more or less correct.
The courses table will store our training courses with their duration, capacity and a small description of what you will learn on this course. The training session table will be used to link a course with a specific training and a date when the training will be done. The trainers are colleagues who provide the internal courses.
The attendance table stores the training session id and if an employee attended the session or if he could not.
Please find below our database diagram:
Later on we would also like to store the job position a training course is relevant for. For example our network introduction course is relevant for a Level 1 Analysts, a Level 2 Analysts and Team Leaders. Our ITIL course is relevant only for a team leader.
How would you store this information? Would you use a separate table with the positions and use a many to many relationship for this?
Many thanks,
Mathias
