With phpMyadmin you can do almost everything. ;-)

A normal stupid client shall be able to edit the data of the relation.
He has absolutely no idea about database tables.

In my case these are customers who describe the sorts of materials they
can treat. The addresses of these customers shall be searchable by the
different kind of materials. Depending on the material there are
different fields with other possible values. So it must be assured that
this fits together and is entered correctly.

Well the problem is that the TYPO3 functions for the backend are limited
because of the need for uid and pid.
Therefore unfortunately I had to use a lot of XCLASSES. This is a big
problem. So why not extend the functions in TYPO3 ? E.g. for TYPO3 5.0
this should be done.
