Understand now… If the Bookings table is just a combination of Reservations and Paid Guests, then could you use a View?
If not, maybe Table Inheritance would be something you’re after. I’m not up to speed on that aspect of things. Someone smarter than me may be able to help, or the docs.

A reservation would be when someone is going to come but has yet not. Paid guests would be people that are already here and paid. The booking table would be either paid guests or reservations. It says that the room is taken by either a reservation or a paid guest.
