Sorry for the lack of explanation.
Again:
I have to model a bill table.
The bill have 20 fields.
But for each field we have: *registered* value, *billed *value and* total
value.*
So i've created an *bill* table with *20 *fields (representing the bill
fields, like: consumption, demand, etc ), and a *bill_values* table (with
*id*,*registered*,*billed *and *total*).
I'll try to ilustrate:
Bill Table
*ID | eletricity_use | eletricity_demand_ | eletricity_traffic_use
| eletricity_penalties *| etc ........
1 101 102 103
104
*AND*
Value Table
*ID | Registered | Billed | Total*
101 120,00 150,12 102,36
102 130,00 150,12 102,36
103 150,00 150,12 102,36
104 110,00 140,12 102,36
better? Thanks!
