Design

Hello all,

I am trying to correctly model the relationship between products and
versions within my db. The problem I have is how to store the version
data. I need to collect the following information:
1) Major Build Number (int)
2) Minor Build Number (int)
3) Build Number (int)
4) SP number (int)

What is the "correct" schema for this? How many tables and what
columns?

(On a side note if any one has any links to useful examples of DB
design could they post them?)

Thanks,
Jose

Hi

The way you design your tables will depend to some extend on if you want to
do with them. If you will need the query the constituent parts, then holding
them separately is an option. If you don't then you may want to hold it as a
single string. You may want to be more exact with your datatypes. Tinyint
may be sufficient for your purposes and smallint almost certainly will.

You may want to check out the chapter on Database Design Considerations in
Books online.

Many technological innovations rely upon User Interface Design to elevate their technical complexity to a usable product. Technology alone may not win user acceptance and subsequent marketability. The User Experience, or how the user experiences the end product, is the key to acceptance. And that is where User Interface Design enters the design process. While product engineers focus on the technology, usability specialists focus on the user...

In Borland's VCL it was possible to divide a component into design time and run time DLLs. The design time DLL would only be necessary when the programmer was setting a component's properties or events in the Object Inspector, the equivalent to the VS .NET Windows form designer. The run-time DLL would only contain the code necessary at run-time. The design time DLL referenced the run-time DLL, but not vice-versa. This allowed the run-time...

Hi, I have moved an application from VS2003 to VS2005, and I am now unable to view most of my forms in the designer. The majority of the forms in my project are derived from class PACForm, (which itself derives from System.Windows.Forms.Form) Whenever I try to open on of these forms in the designer, I get an error, stating it is unable to load one or more of the requested types.

Introduction Usability and relevance have been identified as the major factors preventing mass adoption of Business Intelligence applications. What we have today are traditional BI tools that don't work nearly as well as they should, even for analysts and power users.

Hi, I have been working on C++ for some time now, and I think I have a flair for design (which just might be only my imagination over- stretched.. :) ). So, I tried to find a design certification, possibly that involves C++, but, if not, C++ and UML. All I could find was Java + UML design certifications (one such is detailed on http://www.objectsbydesign.com/tools/certification.html). Although UML is expected to be language independent,...

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,...
