Hi All

=20

This is my first mail to this mailing list.

=20

I started using the rails framework for ruby.

=20

I was able to understand and create the sample cookbook application.

=20

Now I want to try something new.

=20

I basically want to write a application which would be similar to orkut.

=20

Basically I want to have a database table which will have the
information about the registered users.

=20

And each user should have the reference to his friends.

=20

For example

=20

ID

NAME

Friends

1

Name1

3,4

2

Name2

4

3

Name3

4

4

Name4

1,2

=20

I am not able to deduce on a database schema to achieve this. Should I
have another table for friends  ?

=20

PS: do not reply to this mail, if you think this mail is irrelevant to
this mailing list.
