Re: association type for model hasMany or HABTM

mscdex,

Thanks for your helpful intuitive insight.

I should have been more clear as to my problem and details.

My final outcome will be like so:

1) Each image is in a specific category.

2) There will be no more than one-level of category (meaning there will be no subcategories).

3) Images will not be in more than one category (so each image will only be assigned to one category).

So I figured for my db setup, I would need a minimal of the below:

gallery_images (table)
-- id
-- title
-- description
-- gallery_category_id

gallery_categories (table)
-- id
-- title

The user interface will list out the category names as links, and when a link is selected, all images matching the gallery_category_id will display.

Does this seem like a logical structure?

And the more I look at this, it seems a hasMany relationship could be totally sufficient.

Am I totally off on this? Do you have any other suggestions?
