Hello
I have 3 related tables: MuscleGroup, MuscleCategory, Muscle.
For all those tables I want the name and description in multiple languages.
Therefor I need your best suggestions storing multiple language columns in sql or even better a standard way for multiple language storage.
Thank you
P.S. I started that question/thread several times (sometimes even with diagram pics) but I never received a very clear instruction or standard.
I am trying to make my tables so that when data is entered using a formview even if a textbox is left blank there is still a value like for example NA entered into that field. Is that possible?
also in the column properties under general what is the Default value or binding?
We are in the middle of re-designing few tables (namely transaction tables) that would store very large data and would be hosted on cloud (Azure). The old design of this product breaks transaction tables into monthly tables. i.e. say ORDERS Table would be physically broke into twelve monthly tables over a year like ORDERS0115 (mmyy), ORDERS0215 and so on.
We are in the opinion that keeping the entire transactions in one Table is better. Would like to know what's the best practices for transaction tables like the one mentioned above? Is it better to use one table with partitions. I read somewhere that partitions can slow down SELECT queries if not designed and thought properly.Since this would be hosted on cloud (Azure), do you think some additional things are to be taken care? How a site like Amazon keeps their transactions tables?
Hello,Currently we have a database, and it is our desire for it to be ableto store millions of records. The data in the table can be divided upby client, and it stores nothing but about 7 integers.| table || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ... |Right now, our benchmarks indicate a drastic increase in performanceif we divide the data into different tables. For example,table_clientA, table_clientB, table_clientC, despite the fact thetables contain the exact same columns. This however does not seem veryclean or elegant to me, and rather illogical since a database existsas a single file on the harddrive.| table_clientA || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...| table_clientB || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...| table_clientC || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...Is there anyway to duplicate this increase in database performancegained by splitting the table, perhaps by using a certain type ofindex?Thanks,Jeff BrubakerSoftware Developer
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to store a user ID of whoever made the last change to a record in a table. I have added a field with a default set to 'suser_sid()'.
Is it wise to store SID's in a database table if you are using NT authentication? My concerns are that if the user is deleted by the NT system administrator then I lose data integrety also if the database is backed up and restored onto a different machine with different users it won't work at all.
I'd be grateful for any help with this.

I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Thanks,

Hi, can someone help me with this problem. I have recently downloaded VWD and have been playing around with it a bit. I was windering how do I add an image file to a SQL database. I have used SQL in the past but I have never store an image in it. I can add text data and so forth, but I need some pointers into adding images to the sql database. I want to be able to store the images and then retrieve them to a GridView. I have the images in an image folder within the website, but I do not know how to input the reference or link to the images in an sql table.
A quick example, say I have a table called Images, with the following info:imgID (int)imgDesc (varchar(max)imgFile (img)imgTitle (varchar(20))
To input this in sql I would write Insert Into Images (imgDesc,imgFile,imgTitle) Values ("Large fishy", "", "The Big Fish") what would I need to put for imgFile?
I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
hi all, what sql data type should i use to store variable length bit patterns no longer than 30 bits?

I am designing a database in which the booking is on an hourly basis instead of daily basis. So I want my colums in a table to be like this:
================================ID(PK)Date(In this table I want date only)TimeSlot(in this table I want time only)CourtNo(facility which is to be booked)Booking ID(FK to booking table)================================
The thing is that SQL server donot have a date only format. I am totally stuck on this one, please help! The database which I created will be ideal if I can just store the date!

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy forms are taking user input, then HtmlEncoding them prior to being stored in the SQL DB. For some reason, SQL is storing quotes as � and it is causing the HTML when decoded in the page to not be rendered properly.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
For example (without encoding for readability):
SQL should store the parsed string as: <a href="someurl" class="main">
but for some reason it's being stored as: <a href=�someurl� class=�main�>.
Thoughts?
Does anyone have thoughts or know of resources that explain the pro's and con's of storing images in a database versus keeping the image in the file system and just storing the path to the image in the database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello All!
Can some one give SQL Statement on storing images from disk to the database columns.
Once I store the image how do I test it out that the image is stored correctly?
For example this is what I did
I have a table called table1., field called name
insert into table1(name) values(C:123.bmp)
Is the above statement correct? will it store the file or not?
if it does store them then how do I view them?
Can some one please help me...
Thanks in advance for your help

best way to store questionnaire data in a database.Since different questionnairs have different questions and formats i.e dropdown, radio, checkboxes etc building such a database model becomes highly complex.
I've read that if data schema is complex and higly variable it may be better to use an xml document and store that in a databse. However I dont quite understand how you store xml to a database. Do you simply store the entire structure in something like a nvarchar column or is there some other way to store xml to a database.
If you store the entire structure to the databse then how do you query the content to generate reports.
example xml:
Code:
<survey>
<meta>
<id>sample</id>
</meta>
<questions>
<question id="1" type="singlechoice" page="1">

I use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column.
So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?

Hi,
I'm having a DB designed for me, and I'm inspecting it and wondering what in general is the better way to do this.
We have a product, which we are counting "product views". The DB designer has created columns called "view_today" and "views_alltime".
I specified I wanted a normalized database, I'm thinking this is technically not normalized ? Am I correct ?
Wouldn't it be better to have a query that counted the views off the logging table ? I can't see any advantage to doing it the way its been designed except to save time.
Thanks for any input !

Hello all,I have been working with several databases here that are basically datamarts. A lot of the entities have an attribute that is a particularyear and month. For example, a financial transaction may be posted fora particular month, regardless of the actual date on which it occurred.In this system, these year/month combinations have typically beenstored as integers of the form YYYYMM. My question is, how have othersstored this type of information and what advantages/disadvantages haveyou found to your method?The problem that I have found with the current method is that youcannot easily find the difference between two of these dates. Forexample, 200401 - 200312 = 89 (not 1). Storing the values as datetimes(using the first of the month) allows for DATEDIFF(mm, '2003-12-01','2004-01-01') = 1. Of course, a little extra (and meaningless) data isbeing stored. In case the table sizes makes a difference here due tothe extra data being stored, we are usually talking about over 100Mrows.I don't like the idea of storing the values in two columns (year andmonth) because that does nothing to improve on the ability to performuseful functions on the values and very importantly, the month reallyhas no meaning without the year, so I don't think that it should bestored by itself.Thanks for any advice/insight.-Tom.

I am writing an app in c#. I will be using the following code to get a number from the user. I had to make the variable a string to prevent any kind of conversion to be required.
string newID;
Console.WriteLine("Enter a new ID");
newID = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("The new ID is {0}", newID);
Console.ReadLine();
The ID that this will be collecting will be stored in a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The field in the database is of the type int. Will there be a problem saving this number from the code above into the database? Will there be a problem b/c the datatypes don't match?

Hi everyone, I am storing statistics for different affiliate and merchant sites, and I have a few questions about how to store it. My first idea was to create a serializable array and store it in a statistics column with the rest of the site information. I could even have two columns, one being an archive, and one being the current month. I know these arrays would get quite large, but they would only be retrieved when someone was looking at the statistics. Is this a viable way to do it? The other idea I had was to create tables for each site and ad and store the statistics as rows in each objects respective table. While easy, I didn't know if it was a bad idea to have a very large amount of tables, ie., one for every advertisement and site signed up for the affiliate program. Thanks for all your expertise in advance and I look forward to contributing to this great community. Dave
