I know there are a lot questions about MANY TO MANY relationship, but none seem to work for me, because it is more of a question about the concept rather than one of code. So I need some clarification on how to implement my idea. I am trying to make a LEGO database. I have SETS which can have many MINIFIGURES. Also certain MINIFIGURES can appear in many SETS. I was doing it like this, in Excel(csv) file. And it was **SETS** "table". ``` lang-none Id Set_Name Set_Id Minifigures_List 1 Spider-Man's Doc Ock Ambush 6873 Doc Ock, Spider-Man, Iron Fist 2 Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase 76004 Spider-Man, Venom, Nick Fury 3 Electro 5002125 Electro ..... ``` First step of my database implementation was to create a **SETS** table. CREATE TABLE Sets ( ID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Set_Name varchar(255), Set_Id varchar(255), ); And then insert data: Insert into Sets (Set_Name, Set_Id) VALUES ('Spidermans Doc Ock Ambush' , '6837'), ('Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase' , '76004') ('Electro', '5002125') ; ... Next step was to create a **MINIFIGS** table, and give them attributes. ``` lang-none Min_Id Minifig_Name Minifig_Id 1 Doc Ock SH040 2 Spider-Man SH038 3 Venom SH055 4 Nick Fury SH056 5 Iron Fist SH041 6 Electro SH141 ``` Like this: CREATE TABLE MINIFIGS ( ID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Minifig_Name varchar(255), Minifig_Id varchar(255), ); And then insert data: Insert into Minifigs (Minifig_Name, Minifig_Id) VALUES ('Doc Ock' , 'SH040'), ('Spider-Man', 'SH038'), ('Venom', 'SH055') ; ... How to proceed from here? Am I missing a step? Where and how I should do it? Where is a step to relate tables? Do I have to do it like this, first split Minifigures_Sets cell, and create table from this? If I create table like this, there will be duplicates. Where is a step to create junction table? ``` lang-none ID Set_Name Set_Id Minifig_Name Minifig_Id 1 Spider-Man's Doc Ock Ambush 6873 Doc Ock SH040 2 Spider-Man's Doc Ock Ambush 6873 Spider-Man SH038 3 Spider-Man's Doc Ock Ambush 6873 Iron Fist SH041 4 Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase 76004 Spider-Man SH038 5 Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase 76004 Venom SH055 6 Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase 76004 Nick Fury SH056 7 Electro 5002125 Electro SH141 ``` And then, where and how do I insert new data? Into Junction table? Can main tables pull data from junction table? ``` lang-none ID Set_Name Set_Id Minifigures_List 99 Web Warriors Bridge Battle 76057 Aunt May, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man, Kraven, Green Goblin, Scorpion, Scarlet Spider ``` Thank you. ----- This is a junction table I created after reading the possible answer and comments: CREATE TABLE Minifigures_Sets ( Minifig_Id INT NOT NULL, Minifig_Name varchar(255), Set_Id INT NOT NULL, Set_Name varchar(255) ); And now, where and how do I insert this new data, when I get it? Do I put it just in a junction table? Or I first have to split Minifigure_List cell, and insert into Minifigs and Sets table first? Do I need some commands like REFERENCES, and maybe insert and define foreign keys, but I am not sure where to do it? ``` lang-none ID Set_Name Set_Id Minifigures_List 99 Web Warriors Bridge Battle 76057 Aunt May, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man, Kraven, Green Goblin, Scorpion, Scarlet Spider 77 Attack on the Spider Lair 76175 Spider-Man, Venom, Green Goblin ```
