dear Peter,

thank you once more for the information you provided. I think I made some steps forward! may I ask you about your opinion regarding this design?


I made 3 tables,

health_insurances
>health_insurances_id
>health_insurences_abbreviation
>health_insurances_full_name
>health_insurances_Verrechnungskreis

examinations
>examinations_id
>examinations_abbreviation
>examinations_full_name
>examinations_health_insurance_specific_cod
>health_insurance_id

prices_per_examination
>prices_per_examination_id
>examinations_Id
>prices_per_examination_price_in_EUR
>prices_per_examination_valid_from
>prices_per_examination_valid_to

The first column IDs are always an Auto Increment PK.


In the table examinations the health_insurances_ID is a Foreign Key, so that it is clear that the unique examinations_id has the information about the health insurance.

I therefore have to enter an e.g. ECG 7 times, as I am having 7 health insurances. ID, abbreviation and full name would be the same, but health_insurance_specific_code and health_insurances_id would be different and make the row unique (although the specific code is the same for 4 HIs and two are different) but the Id of the HI makes it unique.


The table prices_per_examination_id has the Foreign Key of the examinations_id, making each examination unique altought there are 7 ECGs, they are all unique because of their examinations_id and different in at least the health_insurances_id

I then added a date range of prices to reflect the different time brackets of the different prices. so I will have to enter each examination ID as often as I have time brackets (in my case 6 times as I have 6 different time brackets for each health insurance).


to be honest that now does not sound very good after summing it up...

at the beginning of this post I wanted to ask one more important question - how and where to enter the data, because this I am missing complete in my brain...

but now I might rethink the design.

would it make sense to make a table with the time brackets?

time brackets
>health_insurances_id
>bracket_1_from
>bracket_1_to
>bracket_2_from
>bracket_2_to
>.
>.
>.


or should I go the way back and make a separate table for each examination in each health insurance AND at each bracket...

hmmmm...

thank you for any help/views/opinions
