Body
Good Day, I'm currently designing database structure for a website of mine. I need community assistance in one aspect only as I never did something similar. Website will include three types of the payments: <ol> <li>Internal payments (Escrow kind payments). User can send payment to another user.</li> <li>Deposits. Users add fund to their accounts.</li> <li>Withdrawal. User can request a withdrawal. Money will be sent to their bank/PayPal account.</li> </ol> Basically, I need some tips to get the best design possible. Here's what I'm thinking about: <code>deposits</code> - this table will store info about deposits <code>deposits_data</code> - this table will store info about deposit transaction (ex. data returned by PayPal IPN) <code>payments</code> - table to store internal payments <code>withdrawals</code> - table to store info about withdrawal request <code>transactions</code> - table to store info about ALL transactions (with ENUM() field called type with following values possible: internal, deposit, withdrawal) Please note that I have already a table <code>logs</code> to store every user action. Unfortunately, I feel that my design approch is not the best possible in this aspect. Can you share some ideas/tips? PS. Can I use a name "escrow" for internal payments or should I choose different name? Edit <code>DEPOSITS</code>, <code>PAYMENTS</code> and <code>WITHDRAWALS</code> tables store specific transaction details. <code>TRANSACTIONS</code> table stores only limited info - it's a kind of logs table - with a <code>details</code> field (which contains a text to display in user log section, ex: "User 1 sent you a payment for something")/ Of course I have users tables, etc.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
