I am creating a survey in asp.net to rate 46 departments from 1-5 on there quality, interpersonal skills, and timelines. Then store the data into a sql database. I am trying to figure out how I want to create the tables and I was wondering if anyone can provide any ideas. Should I create a table for each department with columns: quality, interpersonal, and timelines? If I do it this way I will have to create 46 tables which is alot. Or, should I just create one table and create columns for department, quality, interpersonal, and timelines.
Any feedback would help.
Thanks!

I wouldn't go with creating 46 tables - as they will mostly be the same. Without more information to go on, I would look at creating this using the following structure:
Department:
ID (int autonumber PK)
Name (NVarChar(100))
Rating:
ID (int autonumber PK)
Score (int)
RatingTypeID (int fk)
DepartmentID (int fk)
RatingType:
ID (int autonumber PK)
Description (NVarChar(100)) Then, your RatingType table would hold the types, e.g. Quality. The Department table would hold details on the department, and the Rating table would be point to the Department and to the RatingType (it would also hold the score). In this way, you get a nice flexible structure where you can add rating types in the future.
I hope this helps.

What about tables? Surely a forum requires multiple tables.

Nah - it can be done in one access table with 450 fields. Just call them Field1, Field2, Field3, ..., FieldN.

Hi All
I have 4 tables in a dataset:
ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT related to ACTIVITY (nested)
PERSON related to ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT (nested)
ROLE related to ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT (nested)
if one person i related several times to one activity, with different roles, I get the "a child row has multiple parents" error.
I understand why I get the error 
My question is:
How could I produce this xml
<DATASET>
<ACTIVITY>
<ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT>
<ROLE ID="1" />
<PERSON NAME="PERSON A" />
</ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT>
<ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT>
<ROLE ID="2">
<PERSON NAME="PERSON A" />
</ROLE></ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT>
</ACTIVITY>
</DATASET>
from my dataset. Is there a method, or do I have to write it myself ?
I guess I have to start with
ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT related to ACTIVITY (nested)
PERSON related to ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT (NOT nested)
ROLE related to ACTIVITY_PARTICIPANT (NOT nested)
Thans in advance

I created a table for keeping Configuration parameters. When i wanna get the value via stored proc, i got null. Could u check me my stored procedure pls.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_GetConfigurationParameter]
@Key char(4),
@Type char(4),
@Value nchar OUTPUT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT @Value=[Value] FROM VpConfParameters WHERE [Type]=@Type AND [Key]=@Key
To Try
declare @Value nchar
EXEC [sp_GetConfigurationParameter] 'DBNL','DEVE',@Value
select @Value
Result
NULL :'(
|

assuming that there is data that matches your query in the table, you could forego the output parameter and just select [Value] then your exec statement would be
declare @Value nchar
EXEC @value = [sp_GetConfigurationParameter] 'DBNL','DEVE',@Value
select @Value
I know that works in sql server 2k, and i'm fairly certain it wont work in oracle.

You have missed OUTPUT in your test
greekius wrote: declare @Value nchar

Should be
declare @Value nchar
EXEC [sp_GetConfigurationParameter] 'DBNL','DEVE',@Value <big>OUTPUT</big>
select @Value

Hello,
I have the following query where I want to append to the existing table SalePrice and the the third coilumn SalePrice = 199 which is wrong .
Can you correct it ?
Can you sugest me sites to improve my query writing.
SELECT timeperiod.timeperiod,product.product,
convert(int,199) as SalePrice
INTO SalePrice FROM timeperiod,product where Product='Shirt199Light'
Can you

Ok, so you didn't really like my answer last time. What you want then is a variation on it.
SELECT timeperiod.timeperiod,product.product,
cast(null as int) as SalePrice
INTO SalePrice FROM timeperiod,product where Product='Shirt199Light'

Hello,
Your last answer was very helpful and I think asking the variation was really silly on my part but from where did you get these 'cast' and 'convert' 'as' keywords.
I have visited SQL sites but they don't offer anyting more than the basic SELEC,INSERT,WHERE keywords.
I will search for more sites and hope not to bother you much.
Thanks for your answer.

Hello,
The above query does not add record to the existing table.It says
'There is already an object named 'SalePrice' in the database.'
I want to add records to an existing table where all the 3 columns exist.
Thanks.

If its a one off:
begin tran
update database1.dbo.table set .....
update database2.dbo.table set .....
update database3.dbo.table set .....
commit tran
You need to put some error checks and rollback, but you get the idea. If its an ongoing requirement you ought to consider replication
Hope this helps

You need to generate some dynamic sql then. You can the update statements from master..sysdatabases
select 'update ' + name + '.dbo.table set ...' from master..sysdatabases
where name like '%user'
All you need to do then is put it in loop and execute it, or something similar - there are loads of ways from this point.
