Alrighty then...
I have a question for the db designers out there. I am looking for some ideas, guides, opinions, etc on a db I am trying to put together.

Technically, this has nothing to do with Access. In fact I am designing this in a MySQL db, for a web-based application. Here is what I am wanting to do...

I have a site that I plan on covering the API for ActionScript ( Macromedias' Flash Programming Language ) and Postnuke ( Web-Based CMS Package written in PHP ). Meaning, I want to cover individual Functions, custom built classes, examples, cookbook-styled recipes, etc.

Since I want this all to be in ONE database?
Since I want to cover multiple languages ( and programming applications )?
Since I want to cover both simple functions AND custom classes?
I am a wee bit overwhelmed at the design of this.

For those of you that are Postnuke programmers?
This is going to be a searchable module that allows users to either go through a Table Of Contents to read through ideas and concepts? Or search through a search interface for specific coverage as well as a cookbook-type entry where users can look up specific recipes and find the code necessary to make that happen.

I am hoping that someone knows of an API Database Storage Structure already in use somewhere that I could look over... Or someone has done something similar to this and wouldn't mind sharing db layout ideas... or something...

Can you help?
