How to design an database for providing concession for school students

Hi all,

I am trying to develop an new database for school Fee management system. I am not able to develop datatable for providing concession for students.

Concession may be provided based on category,gender,religion,family income. It is difficult to use comma seperated values. Data will be entered through user interface. There may be concessions with different names for example ConcessionForSCstudents, ConcessionForPoorStudents etc.

I have already got master tables containing all available category,religion names.

category,religion and family income of a particular student is also available in student details table.

The main issue here is a single concession name may have different combinations of category,gender and familyincome.

thanks in advance

Why is a student's religion captured? Do some religions entitle you to greater concessions? If you post the table structure for what you already have and some more detail about how you calculate the concessions, we can help you

It sounds like you need to normalize your database design. In most cases, you probably don't want to name tables after specific data category combinations.

Look for articles and tutorials on the web about Relational Database Design, and Database Normalization. If you're confused about some specific point of design, you can post a new question and the SQL development community can give you more detailed guidance. We won't design your database for you. =)
