- I am setting up a cost analysis system that involves jobs or projects and
- their related costs and billings. I am using Alpha4 but could use Paradox 4
- just as well. Not being that used to relational systems, is it better to set
- it up with the master being the 'job' database which has only 1 record per
- job or using the 'transaction' database which can have many records per job.
-
- I have being trying to do it with a many to one set up but it seems very
- clumsy but it may be my lack of experience that is getting in the way.
-
- Thanks for any help you can give to this struggling neophyte.
