I've been working on a project lately that is written in python and I want to incorporate mysql into it. The python code is basically a report writing system in which every report will have it's own number such as 10-0001, 10-0002 and will contain information like first & last names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. There is also a page, if needed, for items such as televisions, brand names of items, color of items, serial numbers of items, values of items, etc, and there will also be a narrative page where several paragraphs of info can be entered. I have a search page where the idea is that a user can type in a last name for instance and search the names files. I originally made a database named "maindb" which has a table named "info". Inside of the table I made a few columns such as "fname", "lname", "City", "State", "Brand","It em". I made these to test my code to make sure the information was being inserted, and it was. I now want to go through my entire code and set up all of the entries fields with mysql but I'm not sure if I should make it so every report number creates a new table with new columns, or if I should just stick with one table and a whole lot of columns in it. One last thing, when a search is done for a report number, I'd like it to pull up all of the information that was submitted into it, or is that just a matter of how the program is coded and not to do with how it's stored? Anywhere from 1-30 reports generated daily. Thank you!

Have you ever created a relational database before? Do you know what database normalization is?
I'm new to mysql and have not heard of database normalization until now but after googling and reading about it, it seems to be the direction I should head. Thanks for the suggestion!

I need to sort the columns of a ListView.
Some columns contain dates and others contain integers.
What I did once before is in the Compare method I tried date and if that
failed I did Integer.
Seems kinda not nice - is there a better way?
Thanks

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
