I have two tables, one called "cart" and one called "items". Now I want cart to be able to store a list of "items" and quantities. So I created another table "cart_items" that has a field for the id of the template, the id of the item and the quantity.
Is this good design, or should I add another field for the id of the "cart_item"? Or is there better way to do this all together? I'm just running in trouble when I try to update my cart my cart items don't update correctly. What I'm having to do is delete all the "cart_items" attached to a cart and then re-add each "cart_item" and I can't help but think there has to be a better way to do this.
