Question at beginners-level..I need to log people's medicine usage and now I'm stuck with my database-design.
This is the situation :
Table: User
UserID
Username
..
Table: Day
DayID
DayMemo
..
Table: MedicineDetail
MedDetailID
Dosage
..
Table: Medicine
MedID
MedName
MedUsage
..
There is a many- to many relationship
between Table.Day and Table.Medicine.
(using Table.MedicineDetail)
Table.Medicine is a list of medicine names and brands.
Now, in this design there is only one list for all users, but I need a unique
list of medicine for each and every user.
How can I best do this?
Thanks in advance.
Mark.

You need a many to many relationship between the User table and the Medicine table.
So in create a UserMedicine table that contains UserID and MedID.
