QuestionLogging both text and numbers Pin
User 127822-Mar-09 17:01

I have a sensor network where the various sensors can either return a string or numeric measurement, I want to store these values along with a timestamp. I see two possible ways to handle this situation:

1. I have a general sensor data table with value column being an nvarchar of reasonable length. I can convert the numerics to strings and store them in the table as text. Pros: simplier design, Cons: wasted memory, loss of mathematical operations (min, max, etc) on the dataset.

2. Have two tables: one for text measurements, one for numeric measurements. Pros: retain ability for math on records, no wasted memory, Cons: extra step to determine table to log/retrieve from, more difficult to do aggregate queries.

Is there a third option? Any opinions on how to design this?

Thanks
