Design For Treeview-like Structure
Jun 7, 2007
ok i have a design question and since I am not a db designer I hope somebody can give me some insight into this...
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
Thanx

Hi all
I am developing a site for a client but unfortunately
I havn't much of a clue regarding db/table design.
Scenario:
The client intends to sell window blinds over the internet.
The site has been developed using Asp.Net2 and C# with Server 2005.
I need to develop a price lookup control that has access to 4 parameters:
ManufacturerID (from existing table Products.manufacturerID)
PriceBandID (from existing table Products.PriceBandID)
Width (input by the user)
Drop (input by the user)
The idea being upon button click, the correct price is returned based on those parameters.
The price structure has been given to me in the form of Excel files.
There are around 20 different manufacturers
each with a 7 band (A - G) price matrix.
My question is what would be the most efficient way to represtent
this pricing structure under the current environment?
Will I really need 20 * 7 tables?
Any help, info, advice, pointers, links or comments would be most welcome!
Thanks for your time.

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 ?!

I have a query which is working fine. Is it possible that if the table3's column(Child) is only related to table 1 to show it under table 1 and not under table 2, but at the same time another (Child) has a parent in table 2 (which usually is the case) it will show under table 2 as its currently doing.
In other words Child column is directly under Table2's row column name (Father), but occasionally it comes under Table1 with no relation to Table 2.
How can I out put that in a query for a treeview? I am assuming that I will have to program the out come in c# also with 3 for loops and in the second loop I can check if the column is grandchild or Child and make that as a second row or 2nd node of treeview, but I am having a problem building a query in sql.
The query below shows all Parent, then child then grand child(all well and working), but what is desired is at times child takes place of a father.
declare @x as xml
set @x =
(
SELECT distinct
Table1.AssetSysID, Table1.Asset_ID , Table1.FromLR, Table1.Asset_ID + ', ' + Table1.[Desc2] as GarndFather,
Table2.ACISysID ,Table2.PAssetSysID, Table2.FeatureName + ', ' + Table2.[DESC] AS Father,
Table3.ITMSysID ,Table3.Item_ID + ',' + Table3.[DESC] as Child
[Code] .....

I have an interesting problem:
I have an ASP.NET web application that uses a Treeview control to display what can potentially be a very large data set. In the past, I would just run a recursive stored procedure in my database that would output the XML which I would save to a file. The Treeview used the XML file as its data source. I did this because it can take so long for the stored procedure to run (10 seconds or more) that, it isn't practical to have the treeview point directly to the stored procedure. This worked well enough because the data didn't change very often.
Now, it looks as if the application will be used in a production environment, and I really need to find a way to supply up-to-date data to the treeview in a dynamic way. I have tried creating a view that would provide XML and that would be updated any time the target table is updated but, that has not worked. I have also tried creating a trigger that would output to an XML file any time an edit was made (using the xp_cmdshell functionality) but, that has proven difficult as well.
Is there a simpler solution that I am just missing? I just want an up-to-date XML representation of the data that is a result of a recursive function.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Everyone,I'm drawing a blank here and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a table with the following columns (some omitted)IDGUIDPageNameParentPageID I want to build a hierarchical navigation system (2-tier). The conceptual problem that I am running into was getting this information from the same table. Initially I was going to use a nested repeater but I am thinking a treeview would be better. Anyway, the problem is the query. How would I start with something like this? Let's use the following as an exampleRows(ID '1', GUID '888....', PageName 'Page A', ParentPageID '-1')(ID '2', GUID '111....', PageName 'Page B', ParentPageID '-1')(ID '3', GUID '222....', PageName 'Page C', ParentPageID '-1')(ID '4', GUID '375....', PageName 'Page 1', ParentPageID '1')(ID '5', GUID '562....', PageName 'Page 2', ParentPageID '1')(ID '6', GUID '874....', PageName 'Page 3', ParentPageID '2')
(ID '7', GUID '388....', PageName 'Page 4', ParentPageID '3') So, I want to be able to build a query so that I can do the followingPage A Page 1 Page 2Page B Page 3Page C Page 4 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to insert data into locally stored database (SQL Server).
The data I want inserted, is presented in a Treeview control and the data is fetched from a Webservice. The data is returned in form of a dataset.
The treeview contains checkboxes allowing a user to select what to install in the locally stored database.
To sum up:
1. Get data from a webservice' not my problem
2. Present data in a Treview control' not my problem
3. Allow to user to select which data to install' not my problem
4. Insert data that the user has selected into my db' MY PROBLEM!!!!
The Treeview looks like this.
- Group1
| | ---- Rule1.1
| | ---- Rule1.2
|
- Group2
| | ---- Rule2.1
| | ---- Rule2.2
| | ---- Rule2.3
.....
The Treeview is generated with DataRelations between Group and Rule.
My locally stored database is designed by a third party provider and therefore the database must not be altered.
The table I want to store data in is called "Groups" and it looks like this:
GroupID uniqueidentifier ' (newid())
GroupName nvarchar(50)
ParentGroupID uniqueidentifier' if grouptype = 0 then ParentGroupID must have a value.
GroupType tinyint ' 0 = subgroup, 1 = "top"group
Data in the table "Groups" would look like this:
GroupID GroupNameParentGroupIDGroupType
---------------------------------------------------------
{000001...}Group1<NULL>1
{000011...}Rule1.1{000001...}0
{000012...}Rule1.2{000001...}0
{000002...}Group2<NULL>1
{000021...}Rule2.1{000002...}0
{000022...}Rule2.2{000002...}0
{000023...}Rule2.3{000002...}0
The third party also created a stored procedure called pr_AddGroup taking the following parameters:
@GroupName ' can be both the RuleName and the GroupName
@GroupType ' can be 0 for subgroup or 1 for "top"group
@ParentGroup ' GUID
The problem with this stored procedure is that it does not have return value, which is here my problem actually lies.
If it returned @@IDENTITY I could use this as the parameter for @ParentGroup.
Instead I figure I must create two sqlCommand's (one calling pr_AddGroup and another calling SELECT @@IDENTITY to get the newly created record).
My SQL Commands look like this
Dim cmd As SqlCommand
Dim Conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection
Conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=myServer;Initial Catalog=myTable;Integrated Security=SSPI"
cmd = New SqlCommand
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Connection = Conn
cmd.CommandText = "pr_AddGroup"
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@GroupName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50, ParameterDirection.Input))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@GroupType", SqlDbType.TinyInt, ParameterDirection.Input))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@ParentGroup", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, ParameterDirection.Input))
dim cmd2 as SqlCommand
cmd2 = new SqlCommand
cmd2.commandtype = commandtype.Text
cmd2.commandtext = "SELECT @@IDENTITY as ID FROM Groups"
cmd2.connection = Conn
dim ParentGroupGUID as system.guid
To get the data inserted in the Groups table I would something like the following, but the code is very ugly
(and it doesn't work either);
For Each Group In TreeView1.Nodes ' Loop through Groups
If Group.Checked Then
cmd.Parameters("@GroupName").Value = Group.Text.ToString
cmd.Parameters("@GroupType").Value = 1
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
ParentGroupGUID = cmd2.executescalar()
End If
For Each Rule In Group.Nodes ' Loop through Rules.
If Rule.Checked Then
cmd.Parameters("@GroupName").Value = Group.Text.ToString
cmd.Parameters("@GroupType").Value = 1
cmd.Parameters("@ParentGroup").value = ParentGroupGUID
cmd.ExecuteNonquery()
End If
Next
Next
I've spent the last 5 hours figuring out this problem, so ANY help is appreciated :-)

Hi,I'm using DB2 UDB 7.2.Also I'm doing some tests on SQL Server 2000 for some statements touse efectively.I didn't find any solution on Sql Server about WITH ... SELECTstructure of DB2.Is there any basic structure on Sql Server like WITH ... SELECTstructure?A Sample statement for WITH ... SELECT on DB2 like belowWITHtotals (code, amount)AS (SELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans1 GROUP BY codeUNION ALLSELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans2 GROUP BY code)SELECTcode, SUM(amount)FROM totalsGROUP BY code.............................Note: 'creating temp table and using it' maybe a solution.However i need to know the definition of the result set of Unionclause. I don't want to use this way.CREATE TABLE #totals (codechar(10), amount dec(15))GOINSERT INTO #totalsSELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans1 GROUP BY codeUNION ALLSELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans2 GROUP BY codeGOSELECT code, sum(amount) FROM #totals GROUP BY codeGOAny help would be appreciatedThanks in advanceMemduh

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!

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

let me explain my business rules first.
One company can have many site addresses;
One company can have many trades
And one trade can have many activities.
Ok seems very basic at this stage does'nt it, but if i give some data the complexity changes completly for example:
the trades are as follows:
TRADE TABLE
ID 1: DESC: Printing
ID 2: DESC: Artwork
ID 3: DESC: Photography
ID 4: DESC: Reprographics.
now in this case only the printing trade has activities:
TRADE ACTIVITIES TABLE
ID 1: DESC: Flexo
ID 2: DESC: Digital
So, in the above i am saying which ever company picks Printing as there trade, then they have the option of specifying which particular printing trade it is that they do.
Again simple enough by using one-to-many from the Trade Table to the Trade Activity table.
The problem is that not all trades have associated trade activities, for example the artwork trade activity is just artwork, but i need to be able to allow this to be so in the future.
When I try to create a view to select a particular company, with there associated trade and trade activity, I do not get any result at all because not all of the trade activities have any records assigned to them.
Please can anyone help.
I need to be able to pull back all companies with their associated trades and associated trade activities.
Cheers
Wayne

Hello I am a final year student and for my final year project I have decided to try and create a price comparison website due to the fact that i feel it would be a good project to work on and develop my technical skills in C# and microsoft sql server 2005, since these are mainly the two programs I would say i have more experience with. Basically I want to create a website such as www.pricerunner.com. At this point in time i have started playing around with how i feel the database will look, in terms of tables and columns, below is what i have produced;
Company
Company_ID
Company_name
ADDRESS
Website link
contact
Products
Product_ID
Product_name
Product_Category
Product_Price
I am now stuck as how i will link each company with a product bearing in mind a company will stock different categories of products, also do you think i need any more columns in any of the above tables, as well as am i missing out on anything, I am hoping someone with more knowlegde than myself can shed some knowledge on my problem, thank you.

I'm sure there is a simple way to do this but I cannot think of it.I have an ASP.NET application that I am publishing to a webhost. I have chosen to use FTP to copy my files (aspx, etc.). They work as far as links etc. Now, the next step is to create my SQL database on their server as they instruct, which I have done in name only. (Oh, if it makes a difference, I access the hosting service using Plesk control panel.) Is there any simple way to get my database structure from my PC to the host server? All responses welcome. Thanks.

When you attach an MDF that was created using SQL 7.0 to SQL Server 2000, the MDF file structure gets updated. The resulting MDF can no longer be used by SQL 7.0.
My Question: does anyone know how to read the file structure version of a detached MDF file?
If the file structure is 7.0, I would like to warn the user and allow her to cancel the attach + conversion to SQL 2000.

I a DB deployed in the field at numerous customer sites. I have made changes
to the DB in my dev environment and now I need a way to update the DBs out in
the field to the new DB structure. Examples of updates are adding a new column
to a table, or adding some more code to a stored proc.
So what do I do ? I need to be able to email comething to the customer that
they can run that will make my recent updates to their DB structure. It can't
screw up their existing data either.
So what's the solution ? A big SQL script wil ALTER TABLE commands ?
How do I updated stored procs through a script ? I need help seriously.
What is the accepted industry standard method of updating deployed DBs
when a new version is released ? Please Please help.
Thanks in advance
