Training Course
tc_seq_no (primary key)
tc_trm_seq (foreign key to train_mod table)
... and some other title, desc etc fields
train_mod
trm_seq_no (primary key)
trm_trc_seq (foreign key to train_comp table)
.. and title etc fields
train_comp
trc_seq_no (primary key)
.. and title etc fields
We don't qualify the field names in the where because there is really
no chance we have duplicate field names. This is because of the
software we use to access Postgres. Thats also the reason for the all
caps. all of the query up to the where is put together for me based
on info I set up for the query.
Hope this info helps. I'm sure there is something wrong with the join
or something, I just don't see it.
