Storing Attendance - Design Question

Mar 16, 2006

I'm new to database design and i need som advice concerning the design of my tables.

What I want to accomplish is this:

A attendace tracking system that allows tracking of meeting attendance. The project manager is setting up a meeting and after the meeting was held he/she reports who in the project team was at the meeting. It should then be possible to track the meeting attendance of the different team members.

I have a table containing the data for the team members and i thought of adding an "attended meetings" field but the field is actually a number of fileds depending on how many meetings the person has attended so far. How do I accomplish the described functionality?

Can someone pleas give me some advice

Thanks

Design For Storing And Querying Historical Data

Aug 2, 2007

I am working on a project, which involves displaying trends of certain aggregate values over time. For example, suppose we want to display how the number of active and inactive users changed over time.

One issue is how to store historical data. First of all, should I create a separate database for each historical snapshot or should I use one database for all snapshots? Second, our database size is a couple of gigabytes and replicating the entire database on a daily basis is not feasible. An alternative solution is to back up aggregate values, but how do I back up results of aggregate queries, where the user can specify a date range in the WHERE-clause? Another solution is to create fact tables from our relational schema and back those up.

Another issue is how to query historical data. Using multiple databases to store historical snapshots makes it harder to query.

As you can see there are several design alternatives and I would like to know how this sort of problem is generally solved in the industry. Does SQL Server provide any support for solving this problem?

Thanks.

Dtabase Design For Storing True/false Questions

Feb 12, 2007

Hai,

I am trying to design a database for storing trule/false questions.
I have no need to store any thing like chapters are topic. I want to just design a bare minimum tables for just storing questions and its responses.
So does the following tables and fields suffice to achieve that?.

Questions_table(id(autogenerated),course_id,Questi on(text type))
id field uniquely identify each question, course_id(ex:CRS235) is used to identify which course a particular question belongs to, and Question filed store actual question.

Response_table(id,response)
Response field is of int type, 1 for correct answer, 0 for wrong answer. I am not storing options for each question because every question has same options that is True/False.

So, will this work. Please advice and I would appreciate if any one can point me to a good resource on the web.

Thanks,

Designing A Database Within A Database... Design Question Storing Data...

Jul 23, 2005

I have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'msure lots have you have done this before in some form or another).At the end of the day, I'm storing the actual data generically in acolumn of type nvarchar(4000), but I want to add support for unlimitedtext. I want to do this in a smart fashion. Right now I am leaningtowards putting 2 nullable Value fields:ValueLong ntext nullableValueShort nvarchar(4000) nullableand dynamically storing the info in one or the other depending on thesize. ASP.NET does this exact very thing in it's Session State model;look at the ASPStateTempSessions table. This table has both aSessionItemShort of type varbinary (7000) and a SessionItemLong of typeImage.My question is, is it better to user varbinary (7000) and Image? I'mthinking maybe I should go down this path, simply because ASP.NET does,but I don't really know why. Does anyone know what would be the benifitof using varbinary and Image datatypes? If it's just to allow saving ofbinary data, then I don't really need that right now (and I don't thinkASP.NET does either). Are there any other reasons?thanks,dave

Attendance System

Dec 13, 2007

Hi everyone,
I am working on a web based tool to handle attendance and leaves.
Our working hours start at 9:00 but managers will be allowed to set different starting hours for some of their staff.
I will eventually need to view the employee attendance record over a period of say a month.

My question is about storing the modified working hours
I can either:
1) record the (employee name, starting date of modified time, end date of modified time, new start time) as one record and use the f_table_date function

OR

2) Generate the days between the start and end in the application front end and store values for each day in the modified working table.

I feel option 2 will be easier to calculate the reports and prevent managers from inserting modifed times for the same employees in overlapping periods but also think it's a bit not effecient to generate day values when the start and end date would be represent the same information.

Any guidance or am I not clear?
Thanks

SELECT Statement With An Attendance Table

Feb 4, 2005

I have a table that contains the following structure and information:

Code:

UID Member_Number Time_Stamp Status Reason Event Reg F_Name L_Name
18772054062/3/2005 11:48:27 AMInNonenoneNoneWendyBoud
86930082522/3/2005 12:39:35 PMInNonenoneNoneJeremyAhlman

128772054062/3/2005 12:46:25 PMOutNonenoneNoneWendyBoud

I need to be able to take this information and display it in a data grid so that on each row I see the Member Number, First and Last Name and the In and Out Time.

I am not sure how to group the In and Out times together so that the query knows which time out corresponds to which time time for the member?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Right now i am using a stored procedure which traverses through each record and does the job.

Is there any way to do it with Pivot, or queries instead of cursors.

How To Find Conditions Across Rows (attendance)

May 4, 2006

Hello,I need to find students that have 4 consecutive absences. When astudent is absent 4 times in a row, they can be dropped from the class.My class attendance file contains each attendance by date and whetherthey were present or not. When the student has 4 consecutive value 1(absent) for a given session and a given class the are considered to bedropped.If I needed to know the total number of absences, I know I could groupand summarize, but this one has the consecutive twist.Table:CREATE TABLE "dbo"."clsatt"("FULL_CLASS_ID" CHAR(15) NOT NULL,"STUDENT_ID" CHAR(20) NULL,"SESSION_ID" CHAR(10) NULL,"MEETING" SMALLINT NOT NULL,"PRESENT" CHAR(2) NOT NULL);Present value of 1 is absent, value of 2 is present (3 means holiday)Classes typically meet 12 times.I would want something likeFULL_CLASS_ID, STUDENT_ID, SESSION_ID, 'Dropped'as the output.Notice in the example the first student was absent the last 4 meetingsThe second student 5 absensesand the third student was totally absentIn these three examples, they are flagged as dropped.TIARobInserts:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------insert into clsatt values ('BUS100','1675812194','200203',1,'2')insert into clsatt

Attendance Records - Bulk Insert In Student Database

Apr 5, 2012

I have a csv that contains attendance records that I get daily from a 3rd party grade book solution. I need to import directly into the attend table in our student database.

Code:
Attend File-"1112","0021","404550","20120402","ABU","2300000","06","05"

The file is setup as follows, School Year, school number, student_id, absence date, absence code, course number, section number.

I need to check the student schedule to see if they are scheduled for that class when the import runs. So if they had a schedule change in the middle of the day it won't post attend to a dropped class.

I have done something similar to this before with the way I export teachers out to our grade book. I have it check the master schedule to see if the teacher is teaching at least one class, that way it won't export tutors and office staff to the grade book. I used the script below to do that but not sure who to apply it to a bulk insert.

Code:
Script Used to export teachers note last four lines, checks master
USE [GSchool]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

[Code] ....

Secondly I need to check the date of the record and overwrite a record if one already exists for that exact course and section for that student, I need this because if they make changes to a previous day from absence un excused to excused I need to get rid of the unexcused by overwriting it.

One more thing that would be nice but is optional, is there a way to send log of errors on the import via email?

Which Is Better? Storing Data In The Database OR Storing It In The File System

Dec 29, 2006

Hello 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?

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Calculate Attendance For Single Student For Yearly Basis

Jul 2, 2015

I have to calculate the Total number of days present and absent for a singel student.

AS of now i have 3 tables.

1.Daily attendance - Columns -[Guid][,AcademyId],[StudentId],[Date],[Status],[Reason]
2.Student details - Columns - [Guid],[FullName],[DOB],[Address]
3.Class Details - Columns - [Guid],[AcademyId],[Class],[Section],[Startdate],Enddate]

So now i have loaded all the data into the table.

I can fetch the counts for total present and absent

Query i have tried is

Declare
@StudentId Uniqueidentifier ='0B2D4D41-8D33-4D79-A981-03E0F093F458'
Begin
select A.StudentId ,A.Date,Count(Date)Total,B.Guid,

[Code] ....

AS result of this query i get the data.Present count and Absent count from date inserted in Dailyattendance tables.

SO my problem is if the student have promoted to next class then by this query it will count the before year also how do i need to calculate the count according to the Class StartDate and Enddate as i mention in the Class Details table what will be the query.

Database Design/query Design

Feb 13, 2002

Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:

-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played

----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name

-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals

It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.

Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played

Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic

TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.

TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.

Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!

Storing SID's In SQL 7.0

Dec 16, 1999

I 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.

Storing Images

Jan 24, 2007

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.

My 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?

Storing Images

Jun 7, 1999

Hello 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
Venkat

Storing XML In Database

Jul 20, 2012

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">

Storing Hours

Mar 17, 2004

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?
