Questions

Modeling · Movie exampleHow do I model someone who acts and directs?Illustrative content
Sample question

I have one person connected to the same film in two roles. Should I create two Person records?

Sample reply

Keep one Person identity. In the illustrative model, two Credit records connect that person to the film, each with its own role. Count distinct people only when the question asks for people.

Question · Counting rulesWhy does joining feedback change my order total?Illustrative content
Sample question

One order has two feedback records. A joined table repeats the order amount on both rows.

Sample reply

Select the matching order IDs first, then add each order amount once. In the runnable sample, four feedback records point to three orders and the total remains $99,500.

Modeling · Story exampleCan a character appear in several encounters?Illustrative content
Sample question

I want to follow the route without repeating the same character as a new type at every stop.

Sample reply

Keep Character as a type and reuse the character’s record. Each Encounter can link to several participants and to the chapter that describes it.

Design · EvidenceWhere should a source passage appear in a reply?Illustrative content
Sample question

A complete passage can overwhelm the first reply, but a separate page makes it hard to inspect.

Sample reply

Show a short reference beside the relevant statement, then expand the source in the same reply. Keep the document identity and passage location visible.

Illustrative community workshop

A fictional reading group is mapping people, films and credits. Their notebook compares two ways to represent roles and keeps the original source fields beside each decision.
