Hi, all... I'd just like some simple advice.
I'm nearly finished a db for Human resources that lists all employees and all of their information. It has six tables (hopefully created correctly and normalized...)
Anyway, they also want something that will track applications for vacant positions. These positions can be applied for by in-house or out of house people, and could use several of the tables created for the other database, if not all of them.
Should I just add to my current database, or is it possible to link the two together and just look all the other stuff up? I figured that since I had two objectives, I might want two databases, but the second could draw so much information from the first.
I also have a query in my database which gives me a list of vacancies and all their relevant information, which will also be helpful to the second part.
Thanks, as always, for the input!
