I have a relational database that contains a catalogue of resources, which
are categorized by audience, topic and type. Each resource can be
appropriate for multiple audiences, and fall into multiple topics or types.
The database contains 7 tables:
Main Table:
-Resource (the catalogue with resource title, date, number in stock,
language…)
List Tables:
-Audience (lists the potential audiences with their corresponding IDs)
-Topic (lists the potential topics with their corresponding IDs)
-Type (lists the potential types with their corresponding IDs)
Relationship Tables:
-ResourceAudience (lists which audiences apply to specific resources)
-ResourceTopic (lists which topics apply to specific resources)
-ResourceType (lists which types apply to specific resources)
Is it possible to search the catalogue and return results only matching the
criteria entered by the user? I have managed to sort the records based on 1
criterion using an inner join, but now I want to know if I can do this with
multiple criteria.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie
