Best way to setup tables for multible related data sets
Best way to setup tables for multible related data sets
(OP)
I have been asked to set up a DB that shows employees and their managers. This will requires all managers in the management chain to be included. There
are 6 layers from the employee to the top. The data available includes: employee ID, employee name, managers ID. This data is consistent through all levels of employment.
How best to set this up is bothering me. I need to set it up so if any employee/manager moves position, or leaves, the relationships will update automatically.
So, if a 2nd level manager leaves I should be able to replace his name and ID and all relationships are updated. The complication could grow when employees/managers advance in their positions.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to set this up. Tables - 1 0r more? Type of queries?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
