Ave.
I have a question and I would be very grateful for some hints how to do this. I want to create a small and simple database which will consist of entries of books from library (basic information such as: title, names and surnames of authors, edition, year, publisher). I have a problem: let us assume that one book (with one title) have more then one author (for example two).
I tried to create two tables:
1. tblBooks (ID Book, Title, Author, Year, Publisher)
2. tblAuthors (ID Author, Name, Surname)
The problem is that I have only one field Author in tblBooks and if some book have two authors I can choose only one (I can create more then one field Author but when the book will have one author then all other Author fileds will be blank which is not correct). How to solve this problem? I tried to create a third table:
3. tblBooksAuthors
which would connect 1st and 2nd table but it didn't solved my problem. Any clues?
