Solution 1

For this, you have to keep the MemberId (user ids) against the GroupId in one table.

When user will click on Create Group option, you will be asking him/her to select his existing friends to add in the Group.

When he/she submits the form, then you will store the UserID of all the selected friends as the MemberID in the Groups table against the GroupID of that Group, which can be one Autogenerated field.

How many fields should i have in my group table

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 21-Sep-12 4:04am

You can have as follows...

A. For Group Table


1. GroupID
2. GroupName
3. CreatedOn
4. ModifiedOn
5. CreatedBy
6. ModifiedBy
7. Owner
8. IsDeleted

B. For GroupMembersMapping Table


1. GroupID
2. MemberID  -->UserID of Member

This is just an example of Table and fieds I can currently think of. It depends upon your requirement how many fields and what type of fields you need.
You may need more fields than these.

Thanks...

What will be the primary key for the GroupMembersMapping table

You can have one primary key as ID, which will be one Auto-incremented field. But that is not needed, as you can search the Members using the GroupID itself like below.
SELECT MemberID FROM GroupMembersMapping WHERE GroupID = 1
It will fetch you all the MemberIDs of the particular Group.
