Re: [Skunkworks] Database design question
by wesley kirinya 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

That's a clever design. So here's my question: Problem 1: Suppose you have 2 Objects, Object1 and Object2 with respective properties as Object1.ObjectProperties1, Object1.ObjectProperties2 and Object2.ObjectProperties1, Object2.ObjectProperties2 If you want to select values for Object1.ObjectPropertyTypes1 and Object2.ObjectPropertyTypes2 into 1 result set, then the query has to first resolve the respective IDs of the properties then query the values. Problem 2: Any result from query has to contain the ObjectPropertyType so that the type is know and can be placed in the right class type in your code e.g. for dates, you might like to place that in a Date object, Float object etc (since these are stored as strings in the DB). There are 2 sub-problems here. 1 is that the ObjectPropertyType table has to be re-queried every time u run a query, and 2, existing libraries that might translate a DB value to int, float, etc will not understand your structure therefore will resolve the field values to strings and u have to cast them to the types you want. Problem 3: You loose out on indexing features of the DB thus your DB will perform slower. I bet there are other problems... 8~) --- On Thu, 2/24/11, skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: From: skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Skunkworks Digest, Vol 12, Issue 326 To: skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke Date: Thursday, February 24, 2011, 7:07 AM Send Skunkworks mailing list submissions to skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke You can reach the person managing the list at skunkworks-owner(a)lists.my.co.ke When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Skunkworks digest..."
