Design a Simple Library Database Schema
đ Problem
Design a normalized database schema for a simple library system that tracks books, members, and which books are currently issued to whom.
đ§ Approach
Create three tables: Books(BookID, Title, Author, TotalCopies), Members(MemberID, Name, Email), and an IssuedBooks(IssueID, BookID, MemberID, IssueDate, ReturnDate) table that references both Books and Members via foreign keys. This many-to-many relationship (many members can issue many books over time) is properly modeled through this junction table.
