Hy all, I'm trying to replicate a existing project database as a conceptual test.
I started off with creating a few models and I thought about ways on how I could link and/or organise them. As I'm just starting to learn django and python and my basic database knowledge is restricted to MS products I want to get some basic things right. I'm talking not about the technical bits on how to write modules, fields and stuff I am thinking about how to organise tables, the underlying principles and rules. Is it better to have more tables with fewer rows and link them. Or habe one large table... For the purpose of my test the project db will consist of many datasets for one project each. I would say that 90% of the Columns/ fields could be linked to a project number. Would that mean they should all be in one table, 100 or more columns? If not how should I organise them and link the separate tables? How do I decide what should go into a extra table? I know that it makes sense to have inn each project reoccurring selections as a linked table, but what else is there to know? I head a search and came across http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ddi.doc/ddi27.htm which I am reading now but I was wondering if you know a better site to read about this sort of question? Thanks in advance. seb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
