Let's say you store the properties of each Member as a Profile and want to
query the data for all members from Milwaukee for example or all males over
the age of 35 or whatever. The entire profile for each member is stored as a
series of characters concatenated to one another and stuffed into a single
column. The algorythm for parsing a series of characters concatenated to one
another without a delineator is done how? The answer is we have to write a
sh!tload of code after figuring out how to interpret an undocumented schema
that is present in the Profile table itself.
//A Profile Entry Example:
ClintonGallagherWauwatosaWisconsin53226MilwaukeeCo untyMale5241477415624147741562http://clintongallagher.metromilwaukee.com
See what I mean?
AFIC Profiles are FUBAR and only marginally useful as a replacement for the
Session object for issues related to the state of the application, i.e data
that is not queried intending to be returned as a group of related records.
Somebody correct me if this is wrong...

news:e6*************@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... Hi all
I am using the membership provider and am storing all the login details
via this system.
However, I require to add additional fields that may change over time
that are related to the User. E.g. DOB, Place of birth and all that.
What is the best way to do this? Create a second table taking the
primary key of the aspnet_Users table and use this as a foreign key in
my new table?
Can I extend the provider to take these new fields? If so, how do I
change it in case of new fields?
Regards
Ray
