Database Design
Let's say I want a screen that displays a list of MP3s with Genre, Artist, Album, Song Name, Play Length. What would the database table for this look like? Many neophytes would design a table that looked like:
MP3Files
Column
Type
default
MP3ID
int
auto increment
Genre
varchar(255)
NULL
Artist
varchar(255)
NULL
Album
varchar(255)
NULL
Song Name
varchar(255)
NULL
Play Length
varchar(255)
NULL
... and amazingly never see the problem with this.
