I have a custom admin mdoule. I need to store the datas of this admin module to 3 different custom tables. I have created admin module with one basic table and successfully stored basic informations into this module. Now I need to configure other two tables to my custom module so that, I can store all my informations related to my module.
I have searched a lot, but couldnt find any tutorials that clearly explain about multiple table configuration. So I have gone through core files and found out these hints.
To set up multiple tables, config.xml file should contain this section
<entities>
<user>
<table>admin_user</table>
</user>
<role>
<table>admin_role</table>
</role>
<rule>
<table>admin_rule</table>
</rule>
<assert>
<table>admin_assert</table>
</assert>
</entities>
Again I have found these codes in sql folder in mysql4-install-0.7.0.php

Like this, my 3 tables are related each other. Means second and third tables holds first table's id as their parent-reference. I need these three tables available when saveaction takes place. How can I do this. Please provide me hints.. so that I can sort out this problem. Thanks in advance
