I am designing an online accounting system as a college project. I have got the following simple transactions.
Sales on cash $300
Cash burrowed from Smith $250
Electricity bill paid $50
I have referred Double Entry Accounting in a Relational Database and designed the above Transaction table(minus sign means the amount is credited). The id 1 and 2 belong to transaction 1, id 3 and 4 belong to transaction 2 and so on. How can I identify each two rows as a single transaction in MySQL database.For example if the first transaction to be selected how can I do it since there is no relationship between the two rows. If this design does not sound good can you suggest an alternative.
