Question

I have 2 tables, an events and users. These 2 tables has 2 types of relationship.

1 event can have 1 creator (user)
1 user can create many events

and

1 event can have many members (users)
1 user can join many events

for the many-to-many relationship, I will create another table to link them. Probably named it participants.

But I’m not sure how should I put my first relationship (1-to-N above) into this. How should I design it?

Answer 1

The creator is not related to your participants, so I would not try to mix them.

Add the reference to the creator as another column to the event.
