First, you will get more responses if you do not create a new topic in
the middle of an existing thread. Here is a simplified answer to your problem.
Basically, you need to create a link between a business and a service,
and note when that link was created. You can grab the highest creation
time for a service to see which business currently owns it. Depending on
how often things change around, you may want to simply have a trigger on
the bs_map table that updates a "business" column in the services table,
rather than having to compute the max creation time constantly.
CREATE TABLE business ( id SERIAL UNIQUE, bname VARCHAR
);
CREATE TABLE service ( id SERIAL UNIQUE, sname VARCHAR
);
CREATE TABLE bs_map ( business INTEGER NOT NULL, service INTEGER NOT NULL, assigned TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT
now()
);
ALTER TABLE bs_map ADD CONSTRAINT "bs_map_business_fk"FOREIGN KEY (business) REFERENCES business(id)ON DELETE RESTRICT
ONUPDATE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE bs_map ADD CONSTRAINT "bs_map_service_fk"FOREIGN KEY (service) REFERENCES service(id)ON DELETE RESTRICT ON
UPDATECASCADE;
