I have an app that uses a treeview control to display a hierarchy of a machine assembly. Currently it only goes two levels deep (top level and a single subcomponent. WHat I would like to do is enable my users to add n-deep levels to the top level machine. The problem with that is that I can't think of a way to store this in a DB and how the table(s) structure would look like.
It seems like this would be a classic problem in DB design, but that is where I lack knowledge so any help will be greatly appreciated
Hello everyone,I have a webcontrol that uses database-structures alot, it uses the system tables in SQL to read column information from tables. To ease the load of the SQL server I have a property that stores this information in a cache and everything works fine.I am doing some research to find if there are anyway to get information from the SQL server that the structure from a table has changed.I want to know if a column or table has changed any values, like datatype, name, properties, etc.Any suggestions out there ?!
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.
I would like to create a table called product. My objective is to get list of packages available for each product in data grid view column while selecting each product. Each product may have different packages type (eg:- Nos, CTN, OTR etc). Some product may have two packages and some for 3 packages etc. Quantity in each packages also may be differ ( for eg:- for some CTN may contain 12 nos or in other case 8 nos etc). Prices for each packages also will be different that also need to show. How to design the table..
Product name : Nestle milk | Rainbow milk packages : CTN,OTR, NOs |
CTN, NOs Price: 50,20,5 | 40,6
(Remarks for your reference):CTN=10nos, OTR=4 nos | CTN=8 Nos

please read below and share your thoughts and opinions o what's the efficient and best way to structure the tables.
I need to capture user's input daily and every hour, text can be from 20-100 characters, and my company is expecting to have 50,000+users in the future...Also the hrs's text can be stored for max 120 days, after that data would be deleted from the table(s) An example is put all together, (not sure if it is the right and efficient way)

(table structure) - (example with 3 users) userId | timestap | message 1 12/12/2007 10:00 some message 1 12/12/2007 11:00 some message 1 12/12/2007 12:00 some message 1 12/12/2007 13:00 some message 1 12/12/2007 14:00 some message 2 12/12/2007 10:00 some message 2 12/12/2007 11:00 some message 3 12/12/2007 12:00 some message 3 12/12/2007 13:00 some message 3 12/12/2007 14:00 some message ...etc..
Hi,I am new to XML and need a structure of table in XML format, which needsto be created as a table in another server.The Source and destinationservers are SQL Server 2000. Could anyone help me on this.Balaji.S.--Posted via http://dbforums.com
Hi, I have one field "Status" with 15 different types of values. Like 1, 2, 3, 4 .. 15. Now this Status field contains the values like this: Id Status 1 1,2 2 3 3 1,2,3 4 13,15
What is the best way to organize this information in SQLServer table? My idea is Create one table with the following volumns: ID, Status1, Status2, Status3, ... Status14, Status15.
Now the above data look like this: Id Status1 Status2 Status3 ... Status13 Status14 Status15 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 1 1 1 4 0 0 0 1 0 1
So, In future If they add new column they can easily add column like status16. And status table look like this Status StatusID Description 1 a 2 b .. 15
All,On my aspx page i have 2 sets of checkboxlists, each with a number of items and i am storing that info in my db. currently i have my table set up this way: InfoID--PK autoUserID-intCheckBoxList1ID-intCheckBoxList2ID-int So a user can select more than 1 item in each checkbox, so this table will contain multiple user-ids and each id from the respective checkboxes. My question is, is there a better way to store this data? I hope this is clear, any input would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
Hi,I have a table for storing my picture albums here it is:CREATE TABLE [UserAlbum] ( [ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [UserID] [int] default(0) , [AlbumName] [nvarchar] (100) NULL , [Audience] [int] default(0) , [Date_added] [smalldatetime] NULL , CONSTRAINT PK_CmmNet_userAlbum_ID PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( ID )) ON [PRIMARY]GO it has a field called "audience" as the name defines i want to choose who will see my albumsit is integer and as follows:0 value=everyone1=friends only2=private as i started to write a query for it i came into this problem: for exampleif i write SELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience=1 then only friends can see the infowhat happens to everyone with value of 0?when i set it to 0, friends should also be able to see the info because it is set for everybody i noticed i should use "in cluase" like thisSELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience in ('0','1') > so in this way both everyone and also friends can see the info or maybe i should add 3 different fields for private,public,friends it seems to be simple but at the same time harddoes anyone have a suggestion?

I'm a VB.net programmer working in an environment that doesn't have a true sql db administrator. We have a situation where we're thinking about adding a new database (db2) with the same Tables used in an existing database (db1). We were hoping to avoid this, but circumstances are forcing us to think about it. Are there any sql tools out there to maintain a dual-db like this? What are the main disadvantages to this?
