Database Design

Hi guys

I was just wondering, im designing a shopping cart for my own site using
php/mysql.

I have my design like this. I have one table for the protuct that has a
collum for product type. Product type is another table that has links to
other tables like motherboards, hard drives etc. I hope you understand this.
Is that the easyest, most efficent way to do it?

Thanks

Hi, I have a question regarding best practices in database design.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
