Hi...
I am getting grey hair...i don't now the right setup for the solution.
Maybe you can help?..
Concept.
companyX has for each period (1 year, 2 years ect) different 5
values....
when I hear "five values" I think "five fields". Or, in ruby, five
attr_accessors, or five instance variable.
I think of the periods as either records or rows, or, in ruby: objects
(if that helps).
So for example:
2 years...has the value rates of 3%, 4%, 6%, 7% 5 years...has the value
rates of 4%, 6%, 6%, 9%
That's the desired output? It's not meaningful to me; I have no idea
what that's supposed to convey. Do you want:
2 years rates in percentages : 3,4,6,5
5 years rates in percentages : 4,6,6,9
If so, why? What does it mean? A five year loan at four percent? or six
percent? Which one?
Can anyone help how my table scheme looks like...or multiply tables??
remco
table: quarters
year quarter
2007 1
2007 2
...
table: rates
rate
3
5
5
6
one-to-many relation between "quarters" and "rates" so that query results
are along the lines of:
year quarter rate
2007 1 3
2007 1 4
2007 2 5
However, that doesn't make sense to me because *why* would there be:
2007 quarter 1 3% rate
2007 quarter 1 4% rate
Also, it's kind of silly to have a "rates" table which just has a list of
integers, but the alternative is to put the year and quarter into one
field giving:
year & quarter rate
