Schema Design for hw4 & hw5

Author	Message
hhuang30 Posts: 40	Posted 11:20 Mar 05, 2014 \| Hi, a quick question about Schema Design for hw. Because hw4 is based on hw3, and we want to change java class to tables. I have CourseEntry class with List<String> prerequisites attribute, can I use table Courses with varchar type column prerequisites? I know this maybe not the best schema design, but I want to use the previous model and code, and at least it works for our homework 4 and 5. So is that Ok? Thank you in advance.
