I am redesigning a database and I need some help.
I have two “User” tables, USER and APPLETCUST, with one being an internal user and the other being a customer.
Since I want them both to login to the same area, I think I need to create a new table that holds login information and whether or not the person is a USER or an APPLETCUST and then have a relationship to the respective USER or APPLETCUST to get that information.
What do you think? Is there a better way?
I’d recommend merging the table, but you already suggested it yourself 🙂 Creating a third table that references the two tables is also possible but might get messy unless you write the constraints properly.
