QuestionDatabase Schema - multiple apps/single table? Pin
ehelinProgrammer13-Mar-07 5:19

Hi:

We are combining alot of old applications which each have their own tables and structures within those tables...not really compatible enough to combine straight out...but they could all use the "text" or similar sql server type and be put into one or two "super" tables with a type to differentiate them.

On one side, this would vastly simplify our schema and allow the data to be centralized. On the other, its not intuitive and could be confusing if we fall behind with our database schema documentation. But more importantly, having all of these applications hitting these one or two tables puts a fair amount of stress on our server.

This table might look something like this:

Application 1 is type 1
Application 2 is type 2
Application n is type n

Text1--Text2--Text3...--Textn--Type
val1 val2 val3 valn 1
val1 val2 val3 valn 2
val1 val2 val3 valn n

Any thoughts of this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks!
