Right, will try and keep this short

Doing a Business ICT Degree (part time) and into my second year. It’s been going great so far, and got great marks. The modules have been very interesting.

However, we've been landed with a database assignment...and it’s a load of shit (but only because I’m finding it hard of course)

We have to make a database for a car hire company.

The first step we have to do is create the database entity’s/attributes and then normalise it (relational database)...and I’m totally stuck already. All the info given to me about the normalisation process by my tutor has gone in one ear and out the other; nothing on the internet means anything to me either....so I’m fucked.

Oh, and as it’s a degree...the tutor's can't "help" us.

I’m at the stage where I’d happily pay someone now
