[UPHPU] Database Question

I have a project which involves keeping a running inventory on all
the products which the company I work for manufactures/uses/stores.
Currently this company uses MYOB (which I don't like) for it's P.O.S.
system. Since they never used the inventory side of it there is no
inventory associated with all the line items (part of why I don't
like MYOB: they won't let you start to inventory an item after it has
been created). The company has multiple sizes of each product, and
each size has it's own line item.
--example--
item# 202 vanilla extract 1oz
item# 203 vanilla extract 2oz
item# 204 vanilla extract 4oz
item# 205 vanilla extract 8oz
item# 206 vanilla extract 16oz
So my question is: When I go to create a new database (because I
can't find a way to access the MYOB Database, another reason I don't
like MYOB) should I continue to have a separate line item for each,
or have 1 table with the sizes in it, 1 table with the products in
it, and 1 table that connects the two?
I haven't done any heavy database setups so I am new at this. What do
you think?
