Hi,
To handle this situation in PostgreSQL, you can model the data in a way
that maintains a single entry for each owner in the people table while
linking the owner to multiple dairies through a separate dairies table.
This is a typical one-to-many relationship (one person can own many
dairies).
The following is testing scenario which might help you
-- Create people table (one entry per person)
CREATE TABLE people ( person_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
first_name VARCHAR(100),
last_name VARCHAR(100),
email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE );
-- Create dairies table (each dairy will be linked to a person)
CREATE TABLE dairies ( dairy_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
dairy_name VARCHAR(100),
location VARCHAR(100),
phone_number VARCHAR(15),
person_id INT REFERENCES people(person_id) ON DELETE CASCADE );
-- Insert a person (owner) into people table
INSERT INTO people (first_name, last_name, email) VALUES ('usman', 'khan', '
[email protected]');
-- Insert multiple dairies owned by the same person
INSERT INTO dairies (dairy_name, location, phone_number, person_id)
VALUES ('Dairy
A', 'Location A', '123456789', 1), ('Dairy B', 'Location B', '987654321', 1),
('Dairy C', 'Location C', '111222333', 1), ('Dairy D', 'Location D',
'444555666', 1), ('Dairy E', 'Location E', '777888999', 1);
SELECT p.first_name, p.last_name, p.email, d.dairy_name, d.location,
d.phone_number
FROM people p
JOIN dairies d ON p.person_id = d.person_id
WHERE p.email = '[email protected]';
Output:
first_name | last_name | email | dairy_name |
location | phone_number
----------- |----------- |---------------------
|------------|------------|--------------
usman | khan | [email protected] | Dairy A |
Location A | 123456789
usman | khan | [email protected] | Dairy B |
Location B | 987654321
usman | khan | [email protected] | Dairy C |
Location C | 111222333
usman | khan | [email protected] | Dairy D |
Location D | 444555666
usman | khan | [email protected] | Dairy E |
Location E | 777888999
