The question at Database design for a project - Database Discussion Boards[^] certainly give the impression that you do. And your original post in this thread complains that your team mates are all lazy, but does not explain what you have done or where you are stuck.

I just gave a basic description of what my work was. It was my fault for phrasing my question like that. It wasn't really my intention to make somebody else do my work or anything.. and this is my first time here so I was just checking if there was someone willing to help. What I got was rude comments, and I stopped coming to this site altogether. So yeah I understand I must be more specific so that some people don't get the wrong impression. Anyway, the whole thing is over and the problem was solved. So there is no point in further discussion. Have a great day.

Yayy..I completed this project by myself and everything kind of went well...:cool::thumbsup: :-D

Yeah!! you are absolutely right!! After I saw that persons rude comment, I stopped coming to this site altogether. I was seriously discouraged and felt bad. Anyway its all in the past..

Hey! Thank you so much for offering to help. You are an amazing person.. I have successfully completed my project despite the difficulties. Have a nice day!! :-D

Rude of you to assume that someone else is "playing games". Whoa:confused: In case you don't understand, I don't want anyone else to do my work and I have stated this previously.If you do not wanna help, then don't.

Thank you to those who gave suggestions!! I have successfully solved the problem and completed my project!

Let me clarify that I DO NOT EXPECT you or even someone else to do the work. I am just asking for ideas. Feels like I have come to the wrong site, because of some people who are saying things which I did not even mean:|||| :((

First of all , I do not want anyone to do "ALL THE WORK". It is my fault for phrasing my question like that which somehow made you get the idea that I need others to do my work for me. Second of all, that wasn't a demand. Hope you get it.. Anyone who has worked on a project might most probably know that a database design is not "all the work" as you mentioned. It is like 25% of it. I asked that question here since the design I initially made had redundancies and several errors due to which it was rejected. So I was asking for help to know if someone else had a better design idea. And I am not tasked with designing a db. It is just a small part of the Project that I am working on. It is not like I dumping a list of requirements and just waiting for someone to do the work. You might know that if you get the design wrong, you might have to redo the whole thing again. That is why I needed help in the first place. I am not someone who is really experienced or whatever and it was my first time posting a question. I had no idea that my question would come off like a "demand". :^)

How else would you classify that demand? If you are tasked with designing a database, and someone else hands you a complete database design, how is that not doing all the work for you?

well, noone asked anyone to do "all the work" as if someone would do that:| .... i thought this forum was for asking help whenever you get stuck...

So basically i am working on this college project and my teammates are just lazy and not at all helping. They are making me do all the work and now I am under a lot of stress and I do not know what to do. I keep getting stuck and burnt do but there is no one to ask for help...If I am not able to complete the project I might fail for the subject

I am doing a Result Analysis project for my college. So basically students will enter the grades that they have obtained for various subjects. If they fail for an exam and take the exam again they need to enter the details of that as well. For the result, we have to find the list of students who passed for a subject in the first attemt, second attempt upto the nth attempt...What will be an efficient Database design for this problem? What tables should be created and what data should be stored in each? Please help...struggling with this for the past few weeks
