I have a tickets
table with an id
that I need to associate to a lookup table where the counterpart of that data is another id
that is controlled from an outside source.
tickets- id- sutfflookup- outside_data_id- ticket_id
I just need to know if the association exists (hence the lookup
table) and has a one to many relationship. I know nothing else about the outside_data_id
except the id
itself and the related ticket_id
.
Also I don't want to alter the tickets
table as this will only affect a small amount of ticket_id
's.
Example
outside_data_id = 1234
Can be related to:
ticket_id = 321ticket_id = 322ticket_id = 900
Would the below lookup table structure work or is there a better way?
CREATE TABLE lookup( outside_data_id integer, ticket_id integer)
