@lewis4u the people wanting to hire are giving job offers

Those who want to take the offer will bid on the offer.

See definition 3 here: dictionary.com/browse/bid

lewis4u

ok but...first comes this demand/request and then comes an offer

on our website will be like this we have an event and need 2 cooks and 2 helpers....and that is a request...and then you come and see and you have those people working for you and you will make an offer for some money

and say you will rent those 2 cooks and helpers for 200$ and you make that offer

and the question is on what did you make that offer

terdon

@lewis4u That's what I mean. The "request" is actually an offer. It's a job offer and the replies can be called bids: "I will do this for $10"

lewis4u

on a request or is there some other better word

terdon

@lewis4u You made the bid on the offer

lewis4u

ok you are kind'a right....it's hard to translate from german

Alternatively, you can call the responses quotes. When you want someone to do a job for you and you ask how much it would cost, you are asking them to give you a quote.

lewis4u

anfrage->angebot

yes...true

terdon

Although, if your database is listing job offers, I don't see why you don't just call it jobs. Then you would have jobs and offers*/*bids*/*quotes or whatever.

lewis4u

because the endusers are normal people like physical people who want personnel and the agencies are actually the ones who make these offers

terdon

So?

These are physical people who want to hire someone for a job, right?

lewis4u

no

terdon

10:33 AM

?

lewis4u

not someone....

they want to hire an agency

one agency

terdon

@lewis4u Yes, an agency is someone.

But that makes no difference.

lewis4u

maybe

i'm still struggling with translations and DB relationships

terdon

Your users want to hire someone (a person, an agency, a dog, whatever) to do a job. So they're offering jobs. The people who respond (agencies, humans, dogs or whatever) are making offers / bids /providing quotes for that job.

lewis4u

but it's kind'a wrong to call this a job...it's more like an event for multiple different jobs

there are more things involved....more than 20 form fields

=> 20 different table columns

terdon

OK. 1) If you ask for help, you need to explain the whole situation. We can't read your mind. 2) You are seriously overthinking this. The db name is only ever going to be seen by developers, you just need a name that makes it clear to people who already know about the system what the system is. 3) A job can be simple or incredibly complex. For example, being the head of a government involves thousands of different things. It's still a job.

Takkat

would this work: vacancies - applications ???

terdon

Hey! A German! :)

@Takkat I don't think so. As far as I can understand, @lewis4u is setting up some sort of freelancer thing. So there aren't any vacancies, as such, only jobs.

Takkat

Then jobs - applications

lewis4u

yes you are 100% right terdon unfortunatelly i can't give all info...this is from work....it's very hard to help with not enough info

terdon

By the way, this really isn't the best place for this sort of discussion. You might want to ask here instead:

Q: Asus Notebook vs Linux

I recently aquired an Asus F550VX-DM103D and it was deliverd with Free Dos. Windows 10 worked like a charm, not a single problem. On the other hand, when i tried to install Ubuntu (or linux mint, centos, RHEL, etc) it didn't worked at all.. It started freezing, not rebooting, not booting, problem...
