Build the AIS Tables
Last updated 8/01/2024
The AIS application has three tables, the iUser table is already created for you by Five, so there are only two tables that need to be added. This documentation will explain how to create the tables for the AIS application.The AIS database model below shows the relationships between the tables. The Submission table holds all the submission details and the SubmissionAttachment table holds the attachment details and the attachment. There is a one-to-many relationship between the Submission and SubmissionAttachment tables, meaning a submission can have many attachments. Five handles the iUser table.
