TABLE assemblies (
  code varchar
  part varchar
)


Where code is the big item and "part" is the code
for the item that goes into it.  One code in your
products table can have any number of records in
assemblies.  I'm presuming that each "part" in assembly
is also in your products table so you can pull the additional
information you need.  Alternatively, denormalize
assemblies and add the fields to make display easier/faster.

SELECT * FROM products WHERE code=[item_code]; # display item

SELECT * FROM assemblies WHERE code=[item_code]; # for each loop
