Citizenship table design

Hi,

Please kindly assist how do we design a citizenship table?

User will input his name and choose 1 citizenship
-American
-Canadian
-Others   (specify why)

when user selects Others he/she need to input on why they choose that option (remarks).


CustomerTable
CustomerID
CitizenID


CitizenTable
CitizenID
CitizenShip

How will we design the remarks table to link to CitizenTable?  Not sure if we need to link to Citizen or we can link it straight to Customer table.

Thanks.

rafrancisco,

Is there a disadvantage if we added a nullable column vs a new table?

Thanks.
I can't think of any disadvantage of having a nullable column in your CustomerTable.  It's not going to take up space if the Citizenship is either American or Canadian.
