Hi,
I want to design a Table with the following condition:
The table is used to store Department Information.
There are 3 types of Department- Dept A, Dept B and Dept C
The table structure is:
Dept Number
Dept Type
Dept Name
The problem is Dept A and Dept B has its own Dept Number but for Dept C
we have to generate a sequence.
So how do I store the dept number from Dept C as a sequence still
allowing Dept number from Dept A and Dept B which can vary.
I can always add another field but is there a way out...Just wanted to
know...
Thanks in Advance,

You can use an identity column that is generated by default. If you don't
supply a value, then DB2 will generate one for you. However, you will need
to reserve a range of numbers to be automatically generated that will not
conflict with the ones you supply.
Thanks Mark for your prompt reply

Besides Mark's solution, you can also use two separate TABLEs, and pull
them together in a view.

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...

but an actual field.
Can I code this somehow. So the code presumabley would loop through all the

Hi,
I have a question regarding best practices in database design. In a
relational database, is it wise/necessary to sometimes create tables
that are not related to other tables through a foreign Key
relationship or does this always indicate some sort of underlying
design flaw. Something that requires a re evaluation of the problem
domain?
The reason I ask is because in our application, the user can perform x

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
