PHPRunner General questions

I have a table of trainees (trainee table) which consists of individuals - unsurprisingly! 😊
I have a training course table. (training course table).
Each time I add a course to the training course table I would like all the trainees to be 'assigned' the course. In affect, would each 'have their own course'.
I can create a course and assign a trainee no issue by simply selecting a trainee and saving. That training course is only then assigned to who I selected. However this is to labour intensive.
What is the best way to associate all trainees with a course training course once I have entered a new course into the course table?
I have no doubt entirely overthought the process, however, Any help appreciated!

Do you have a join (m:n) table between courses and trainees?
In any case: Personally I would do it with a trigger in the database that creates the records in the joining table after a new course is inserted.

Or you can use an event in phprunner (after insert or similar, I don't have it open so I can't remember the correct title of the events) that does basically the same: Execute the necessary SQL after insertion of a new course. In other words: populate the joining table with the necessary records.

You will need to implement AfterAdd event of course table to associate trainees with this course. Most likely you will need to loop through trainees table and add a new record for each trainee.

Thanks all,
Sergey,
I used the DB::Query to fetch associated records created an array ad used DB insert. This works well.
