I have got two tables subscriptions and payments. These two are related with a one-to-one relation. Basically every subscription belongs to a user (via user_id
) and every payment belongs to a user as well. (yes I know) Because they are bond with a one-to-one relation, there is logically no need that both carry the user_id row. But it's vital for both that they show the user they belong to and I am not sure. Should I rely on that bond or would it be okay that both keep their user_id
(even they will be same) ? This is more of a theoretical question but a little example of the tables are below.
payments
id user_id paymentstuff ...
1 42 ...
2 16 ...
subscriptions
id payment_id user_id subscriptionstuff ...
1 1 42 ...
2 2 16 ...
users
id name lname userstuff ...
16 john doe ...
42 jane foe ...
