Hi,
I'd like some suggestions on a db design.
The data source is pretty simple. I'll be importing from an excel
spreadsheet. There could be 4 to 12 rows, and there will always be
the same amount of columns as rows.
row headers and column headers are just numbers, and the actual data
again is just numbers.
There will be about 30 "pages" for each spreadsheet, ie, the number of
times I'll import the same spreadsheet will be 30, as it's dynamically
updated with current numbers.
example:
ID 1 2 3 4 5
1 x 45 23 12 54
2 12 x 34 23 12
3 14 34 x 12 54
4 23 43 65 x 87
5 87 23 23 32 x
I was thinking of having a table for rows/column number (ID), and a
table for each "page" (up to 30). Then a table that links each ID to
the other ID. That design works, but it's not the most efficient,
cause it doesn't seem to be normalized the best.
Anybody have a more elegent way of storing layered tables?
Thanks,
Bodi

YOu can link the spreadsheet within Access and it becomes a table
withing Access. You can then update the data either in Excel or Access. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I'm new to Access and this may be a basic question but I would
appreciate it if you could let me know how to do this:
I've created an Access table and would like to insert a column with the
field name "name" and to put the same word "unknown" down all the rows
of the column.
How could this be done both in the design mode and in sql code?

Hello,
I'd be curious to hear other thoughts on my database and table design.
My database is for 'space use' in a lodging facility - will hold all
spaces, like rooms (lodging rooms, dining areas, public areas),
grounds, bathrooms, hallways, etc. User would like to keep track of
all spaces as well as items in them, and the condition of items (ie:
beds, so he can budget when it's time to replace them). He does not
want to track...

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to convert business objects to a flat table.
The reverse is also required. I am using c# and

Steps I follows for populating Business Objects is as follows

When editing an ASP Table, Visual Studio does not allow me to edit it in
Design View. This makes it harder to add elements, because I must add every
element either by using Design View to create the element outside of the
table and then using cut & paste in HTML View to move it to the desired
location, or by manually typing the code in using HTML View. The first
technique sometimes does not automatically update the list of elements...

I would be grateful if someone had a minute or two to review my hash
table implementation. It's not yet commented but hopefully it's short
and idiomatic enough to be readable. Some of the code (i.e. the
get_hash function) is borrowed from various snippets I found on the
net. Thee free function could probably need some love. I have been
thinking about having a second linked list of all entries so that the
cost of freeing is in proportion to...
