Hi
I have a senario in which I need to move the data from one database to another depending upon some conditions so that it will reduce some load on one database.For example we have A and B database and lets say lots of new data comes into database A daily.Now i want to put a logic so that some of infrequently used data in database A can be moved to database B on a daily basis.Once data is moved from A database to B databse data will be deleted from A thus reducing load on database A.so daily this process goes on and data from A will be moved to B.So B contains all the data that is moved from A daily and no data of previous day is overwritten on B.Will replication be helpful in this senario ?

What you are talking about is ARCHIVING, and replication can be useful here. You need to identify the database you are using, the strategy will be different for the type (SQL Server/Oracle/ MySQL do not relate to Access).
Personally we use an SSIS (SQL Server) package to move the data from the active DB to the archive DB in the low processing period (2am in our case) and do any other maintenance required.
You might also look into creating an OLAP cube as you archive destination.

Hi all,
Is there something like ## in sqlserver related to scope of temprory tables.??
which decides the scope of the temp tables??
thanks
dipak

Yes, a single # creates a temp table only available to the connection it was created on, a ## prefix makes temp table available to all connections.

I am running into a problem and need another set of eyes.
I am in the middle of building a database to support logins to my website (username & password)
There will be different roles with different persmissions.
Certain roles will have corresponding content in other tables.
For example I have a buyer table, I also have a buyer role.
Then I have a memberrep table that contains a record for anyone who can login to the system.
One table for all logins - no mater the role.
I need to connect a single buyer to a single login in the memberrep table.
I will have the same issue with the sellers and the salesreps. Each will have a one to one relation to a record in the memberep table.
Am I better off linking directly to the table without the 3rd table?
Or can I simply add the 3 or 4 columns into the memberrep table like buyerID, sellerID, salesrepID, ect.
And then only populate the ID of the login that relates to the external table?
I am at a loss here.. Is there another way to make this work?
Here is a screen shot of what I have already.
Any issues jump right out?

Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm not a DB expert, but your drawing looks way too complex. I see a lot of duplicate field names, which to me is typical for a poor design.
For starters, I would have a PERSON table, holding a person ID, and all info regarding that person, independent of his role(s); so fname, lname, phone, email, etc.
Then, I would have a PERMISSIONS table, holding an role ID, a role name, and all the permissions; not sure whether I would choose many permission columns, or use several rows with only one permission field (and when in doubt several rows/1 column often is the right choice).
And finally I would have a ROLES table, holding a person ID and a role ID. If a person has multiple roles, just give him multiple rows.
As a result, in order to determine whether person X has permission Y, you would search person X and permission Y in a join of all three tables. If you find one or more rows that match, the permission is granted.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I am confusing myself - believe me.
I have a working user/role table setup that is here - the memberrep table is your person table. I've used this table design for many websites.
[^]
Independent of the login tables -(and this is where I get confused explaining what has to happen)
I have several other 'data' tables.
A buyer , who will be a buyer and have a login.
I want to relate the buyer to his user login.
I want to do the same with a seller (another similar but different table)
and yet a 3rd, salesrep.
In order for my buyer to login to the admin and see his data in the buyer table, I need to relate his buyer record to his login record.
I am considering adding the memberRepID to the buyer table - and then I will have the relation. But duplicate data (fname,lname,email,etc)
It's like it's calling me to create seperate login tables for each external 'content' type,
The buyer, seller and salesrep tables are not tables I am using to define the role.
does that make sense?

I couldn't tell, you've lost me early on.
I suggest you start from the hard data, that to me is PERSONS. And I really would insist on a very neutral name for that table, it has nothing to do with functions, roles, permissions, which are all weakly defined and volatile (they can evolve in all kinds of ways), non-unique, and overlapping.
IMO in general, more tables is wrong except for normalization (i.e. avoiding duplicate entries in fields). Think of it like this: using more tables will result in needing more code, and does it really improve the quality or the power of your system?
Here is a functional question: does a person with two roles also use two logins? if yes (I hope not), the login belongs somewhat to the role; if not, the login belongs to the person, and may or may not be one or a few fields in the PERSONS table; I would be inclined to keep it apart, just personID and login data.
I wish an expert kicked in here. I would learn too.

Yes, a person with two roles would have one login. Although in this site, I do not see that happening. (famous last words)
I appreciate your help. I need to do some more research. Thank you for your time.

Didn't look at the graphic but this is a simple issue, you need to answer 1 question. Can a user have more that 1 role.
Yes
UserTable - all the details of the user as per Luc's suggestion
RoleTable - a list of all the roles available
LinkTable - a many to many link table with userid and roleid
When the user logs in they select the role to be used, you have a chicken/egg issue here - how do I filter the possible roles bfore the user has logged in, you don't you validate the role after the user and return for a role selection is an incorrect one is requested.
No
UserTable - with the additional field of RoleID
RoleTable - a list of all the roles available
Validate the user only, role is automatic.

Seems we fully agree, your description is much better though.
You had the advantage of not having seen the diagram!

Hi,
I didn't get this. What is your table, how do the columns look like? That might be helpful to solve your problem.
Regards
Sebastian

well dear sebastian
i have to display the table names in my ibexpert
this is my first time trying to fetch table names and not fields using standard queries.
i have to display in the 1st column the parent tables names and next to them in the second columns the children and the same for the subchildren for each parent..
|
|
|
|
|
Still didn't get this. Could you give an example?
|
|
|
|
|
mm.. lets see how to express this,
i have a parent table called (types)
in it i have many children and sub children tables.
i need to display them in a query where in the 1st column the table types should appear then in the second column the children of that table should appear and in the 3rd column the children of the children tables should appears.
ex: types(1st column)
--------sales_unp(2nd column)
--------sales
------------stock_flow(3rd column)
------------invoices_unp
------------invoices
--------unordered_items_hdr(2nd column)
------------unordered_items(3rd column)
...
|
|
|
|
|
So do you need a JOIN?
Like:
Select * from (types inner join sales on types.id = sales.typeid) inner join ...
|
|
|
|
|
to be honest i dont know what i need ... its logical to use joins if i want the children of tables to appear but to be honest its an alien query to me... i feel so weak in queries
but ofcourse i cant join all the tables there r so many! there must be a way to cite them all and display them in such way or else my boss wouldnt have told me to do so...
