A general implementation question

Hi     I have the models ServiceDesk and Problem .A servicedesk can be related to other service desk and problems .Similarly a problem can be related to other problem and servicedesks .At the first stage when doing service desk module I solved the servicedesk related records with the table service_desk_related records with fields id service_desk_id | integer | related_record_id | integer | related_record_model | character varying(80) | default NULL::character varying related_record_association_type_id | integer |

     For example 1 12 Problem 4 2 15 ServiceDesk 3                  So now I have problem module started..So my question is shud i create a table name problem_related_records as of fields above or is there any other easy solution for this

Thanks in advance Sijo

Seems like you've reinvented polymorphic associations :slight_smile:
