php - CakePHP Database Structure Multiple Relationships -


in simple system there users table user logins , passwords stored customers table.

users can related customers in 3 different ways. 1) sales representative customer 2) lead generated customer 3) customer account entered rep

originally planned on having on customers table: customers.user_id customers.lead_id customers.entered_by_id.

with cakephp wrong way? how should designed? 1 day new cakephp.

without knowing more building , requirements, do:

  • users: contains just authentication info
    • users.role: useful querying role specific user (customer, sales rep, admin, etc.)
    • users.username
    • users.password
  • sales_representatives: contains sales rep data
    • sales_representatives.user_id: links sales rep data specific user
  • customers: contains customer data
    • customers.user_id: links user specific user (assuming want them log in, if not can skip this)
    • customers.sales_representative_id: links customer sales rep. might want store history of sales reps specific customer in separate table, field current sales rep.
    • customers.lead_id: links specific lead customer came from. can null in case inbound , not lead, link useful.
  • leads: contains lead data
    • leads.sales_representative_id: contains current sales rep given lead. customers table, might want store list of historical sales reps given lead in separate table.

you might optionally add user_id lead table if lead can login, might not case in system.

what entered_by_id? seems more lead-related id, in case may want track in leads table (separate sales_representative_id).

most of stuff isn't cakephp-related, though schema planning go long way making using cakephp easy :)
