Architecture :: How To Configure Database Design When Add A Sub Category
Apr 24, 2010
I have a ordinary Category/Product database relationship Design structure.
Now i wish to add a sub category to this architecture.
for example, Cloths Category needs to be sub divided - Women,Men,Children categories.Also what about other Ctegories such as: Car,this also has sub divisions: Model,Type.
My Products table contains ProductName field together with generic field for Size,Colour and Price fields.
How do you therefore incorporate this sub division into the existing Category/Product relationship model and is there a model example?

how to design following small webproject and database .i am totally new in this area.
I need to quickly develop a system so that everyone can access the status of the job going online into the system
Activities
Move the job between work centers when it's completed.
Transfer button. So when design is done we should be able to click the transfer button and move the job from Design to Procurement
Here are the work centers.
plan cerement TST Shipped Each work center should have due dates User will have to update manually due date for each work center and this will be different for each job.

I didn't really know where and how to put this so here we go:
I'm trying to design a map with co-ordinates that's driven from data in a database. I want it to look something like this:
Also, the selected X/Y co-ordinate must be centered for the user to see. How could I produce something like this?

for years now I have had a problem with trying to design the best database design for an internal email messaging system for a website.
I would have thought that this would be a fairly easy thing to think of at this point in my development history but it still eludes me to no end.
What irratates me even more is that I would think i could find something online giving more detail about it but i have yet to find the right search term to use

I am in the process of redesigning our main product, a knowledge database system for clients to access clinical and specialist advice articles. There is a requirement to add "Social Networking" to this allowing users to connect and post remarks etc...
This is somewhat similar to the Facebook wall scenario - where Articles, Photos, Groups, Products, Events, ActivityFeed can all have comments. I am at a lose as to the database design I would need to implement this. All comments must allow for Moderation/Approval/Spam Reporting etc...
I originally thought a individual table for each Comments entity ex: ArticleComment, ProductComment would work as the comments themselves are not all directly related. Each table having the same exact columns. But this makes life abit awkward as then this creates a separation between something that for all purposes is the same i.e. They are all comments.
The other design idea was to have a single Comment table with an "arc" type relationship to related tables with FK references back to the source.
The other option was to have a single Comment table with an Object Type and XID but this breaks the rules of relation and does not all for referential integrity.
I am at a lose and don't know what to do. I have asked over at SQLCentral.com and all I have done is raised more questions than answers about what to do.
Design 1: This would require exact copies of this table for all the entities.
-- Photo Comments --
CREATE TABLE dbo.PhotoComment
(
CommentID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
PhotoID int NOT NULL,
Body ntext NOT NULL,
ReportedAsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_ReportedAsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_IsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsApproved bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_IsApproved] DEFAULT (1),
CreatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
CreatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
UpdatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
UpdatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
IsDeleted bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PhotoComment_IsDeleted] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_PhotoComment] PRIMARY KEY (CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_PhotoComment_PhotoID] FOREIGN KEY (PhotoID) REFERENCES dbo.Photo(PhotoID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_PhotoComment_CreatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (CreatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [FK_PhotoComment_UpdatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (UpdatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId)
)
Design 2: The "Arc" relationship
CREATE TABLE dbo.Comment
(
CommentID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
CommentType char(1) NOT NULL CHECK(CommentType IN ('A','I','E','G','U','P')),
Body ntext NOT NULL,
ReportedAsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_ReportedAsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsApproved bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsApproved] DEFAULT (1),
CreatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
CreatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
UpdatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
UpdatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
IsDeleted bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsDeleted] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Comment] PRIMARY KEY (CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_CreatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (CreatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_UpdatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (UpdatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [UC_Comment_CommentID_CommentType] UNIQUE (CommentID, CommentType)
)
-- Article Comments --
CREATE TABLE dbo.ArticleComment
(
ArticleID int NOT NULL,
CommentID int NOT NULL,
CommentType char(1) CONSTRAINT [DF_ArticleComment_CommentType] DEFAULT 'A', CHECK (CommentType = 'A'),
CONSTRAINT [PK_ArticleComment] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ArticleID, CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_ArticleComment_ArticleID] FOREIGN KEY (ArticleID) REFERENCES dbo.Article(ArticleID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_ArticleComment_CommentID] FOREIGN KEY (CommentID) REFERENCES dbo.Comment(CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_ArticleComment_CommentID_CommentType] FOREIGN KEY (CommentID, CommentType) REFERENCES dbo.Comment(CommentID, CommentType)
)
Design 3: The one that breaks the rules
CREATE TABLE dbo.Comment
(
CommentID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
ObjectType char(1) NOT NULL, /* A = Article, P = Photo etc... */
XID int NOT NULL, /* Would be the ID of the main entity being queried. */
Body ntext NOT NULL,
ReportedAsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_ReportedAsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsSpam bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsSpam] DEFAULT (0),
IsApproved bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsApproved] DEFAULT (1),
CreatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
CreatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
UpdatedDate datetime NOT NULL,
UpdatedBy uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
IsDeleted bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Comment_IsDeleted] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Comment] PRIMARY KEY (CommentID),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_CreatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (CreatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [FK_Comment_UpdatedBy] FOREIGN KEY (UpdatedBy) REFERENCES dbo.aspnet_Users(UserId),
CONSTRAINT [UC_Comment_CommentID_ObjectType_XID] UNIQUE (CommentID, ObjectType, XID)
)
-- Ex: Get all comments for article ID 23.
SELECT * FROM Comment Where ObjectType ='A' and XID = '23'

i want to create a centralised business or Service authendication architecture in .net. for example, we have a clients like c1, c2, c3, c4, ... etc. everybody logins seperatly as well as grouply. ie, if client "C1" logins [with login authentication] he can access c2 , c3, c4 also without login authendication. So its like a google. if we enters gmail account, we can access orkut, picasa like that.. i need the cetralised architecture.
And, client "c1" seperately asks seperately how will be the authendication architecture.
so give me the single solution for both these two scenarios. how will be the architecture for these two and how is the Data Base (Login) Structure.

recently i've studied on ADO.NET's Entity Model Framework and say 'wow' as ORM is one of the fevourite pattern i practice..but suddenly i've come to an ambiguous situation when i'm going to start. i usually follow the following 3-tier architecture..
1. UI Layer
2. BLL - business logic layer
3. DAL - Data Access Layer
a. DTO / DAO
b. Gateway (contains the sql query/stored procedure and connection with DB)
now when i'm going to use the Entity Model Design,where the DBML/ .edmx File should be placed? Because many a times i'm using the DBML file as DTO because of the mapped objects.. in the same time, sometimes DBML ( .edmx file in .NET 4.0) contains CRUD methods and stored procedured method as well as methods with different selection operations,- which should be in Gateway. so where the .edmx file should be placed !?!! IN DTO namespace !? or in Gateway namespace!
moreover sometimes there is no need for the BLL which breaks the rules of inter-layer-communication (UI > BLL > DAL.Gateway)! what makes me confuse is, what should be the ideal n-tier architecture when i'll use the ADO.NET Entity Model Design Framework

I am a newbie to asp.net and work in a firm where the projects are quite small.
I was told by my manager that in a few weeks or so we would be getting a bigger project and I need to be well versed with Design Patterns and N tier arcihtecture.
I would really appreciate if someone could provide me some links and also drop me a few sentences on how this things are useful?

I am try to create architecture design for WCF service.
We have WCF service that we have to expose to third party so then can request with xml and get back xml response.
The wcf service should do the following:
- Accept the request call with xml
- Check xml against the schema
- Parse the xml
- Authenticate the incoming xml by username and password that will be in xml
- Send back the response
If anybody can let me know what kind of design I can use or is there any pattern available that I can take it and then extend it as per my requirement.

I am starting a new project in ASP.NET (With silverlight) - I would like to get expert opinion about how to design the data access.I can use DataAccess Layer with SQL helper, but the challenge is every new field that I add needs to be added in the sql helper.I am trying to see if there is a way to design the system, so that it appears in the front end when a new field is added. I don't want to have in the ASPX files (binding in controls) I want to have ability to change items in code. Essentially I am trying to see the best option to have a database application.

i create example using Northwind database so i create a new website and add new ADO.Net Entity Data Model (.edmx) called Northwind.edmx and i add Categories and Products table inside this (.edmx) file
and add new ADO.Net Data Servuce called "ADODataService" and add it as WebReferences called NorthwindService
so i add new web page and drag DropdownList and Gridview as i want to bind Dropdownlist to all categories and when i select category from Dropdownlist bind Gridview to all Products related to this category
so my code
[Code]....
and my code
[Code]....
so when i select category from Dropdownlist nothing happen :(
also you will find commented code in method BindCategory whuch is not work also.

I'll try to explain as simple as I can in text what my problem is. I don't see any other way to make my issue clear.
I have a GridView that uses an ObjectDataSource.
The ObjectDataSource has an DataObjectTypeName defined, so I pass/get complete objects or list of objects to/from the data access methods.
The objects I'm working with, let's say we work with Book objects, contain a Title and a Category, BUT the Category is an object itself. When the Select method is called, we get a List of Book objects, which is perfectly displayed, overridden ToString method in the Category objects within the Book objects.
The problem I face is that I can't find a way to update the category in my GridView. What I did already accomplish is:I used a template field in the GridView for the Category so I could use a DropDownList for that field in Edit mode.
I bound the DropDownList to another ObjectDataSource that gives me a list of CategoryObjects.
So when I enter Edit mode... the row shows a nice ddl with the available categories. It even selects the right original category.
So far so good... but when I want to save my new selection, I get an error that a string (the selected category in the ddl) cannot be converted to a Category object (that's what the Book object, that is going to be used for the update, expects).

I am working in a project that is a musical website. I want to display the web page with all categories I have. In my database , named Category_Master, I have two fields like Category_Id (which is a primary key ) and Category_Name. I have generated category_Id with NEWID() function. The category_Id is not supposed to display on the web page. But, i have to select Category_Name and according to that , I have to get the category_Id. If I am using Static connection with SqlDataSource, i am able to make visible=false property so that the category_id won't be visible. But , at that time, I can't write code to Select the category_id of the selected index.
If i am using disconnected approach, I filled the dataset with the Category_Master, and binded it to GridView. But, at that time, I can't hide the category_id from the user. I want to select category_id by clicking on the category_name with out displaying category_id ..?

designing Business Objects. What a business object class can contain ?
I have looked many sample codes and articles. Some only use properties in them. Some use private members, properties and constructoers. As more I am reading becoming more confuse.
Some sample codes that I checked were making functions in BO classes as well. what a BO class should contain and what is its purpose. Should there be functions in them as well ? If yes how they can be differentiated from Business Logic class functions.

All the users of my system get a common Id (SystemUserId). There are predefined roles/groups in the system. One user can be belong one or more of these groups. We are populating the menu/dashboard at runtime according to logging credentials.All common details (properties) of group are stored in main table (SystemUser) and specialized details are stored in relavant tables.(Teacher/Student). My solution already has classes called, SystemUser, Teacher & Student.
Problem:My system should support new group addition. (eg-: Auditor)This should support new properties to be added to SystemUser/Teacher/Student or any other new group added by the Customer at runtime.

suggest me a good design pattern for implmenting the following? I have an object say myObject. This myObject is created using few inputs from the UI. After the creation of myObject. This object will be passed to few methods.. like method1(myObject);
method2(myObject);... method5(myObject);etc. Each methods will prepare the input for successive methods call. For example method1(myObject) will set the values necessary for the operation of method2.Then method2(myObject) will set up the values necessary for the operation of method3 and so on..Same object is used as the argument for every method calls.Which design pattern can be implemented?

I am thinking to use entity model as DAL, how should I create the BLL then? What kind of datasourceobject should I use in the asp pages?
I am looking for best practice to use Entity framework 2 in the three layers design. I had experience at dataset with three layers design.
Should I use objectdatasource at the pages for gridviews? My guess is that entitydatasource by passed the BLL which is not good, so the only option left is the objectdatasource.
Could and should my BL object inherit those entity model in the DAL, so I dont need to recreate their object's property?

I want to know what is the advantages of using aggregates in c# for design patterns.
suppose i have tree tables
Member(M_Id,M_Info)
Bid(B_Id,B_Info,M_Id,Item_Id)
Item(Item_Id,Item_Info)
"One member can place more than one bid on more than one item."
so there is one to many bidirectional association between Bid and Member table.
And one to many association between bid and item table Now According to defination of aggregates in this case Item table is the root of aggregate item and item has aggregation with bid table.
and bid table holds unidirectional reference to member table and hence only bid table has access over member table.
But ultimately this will also map in database same as without using aggregate then what is use of aggregates?

I visited this Link to study about Factory design pattern.http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/310/factory/ But i am confused about it still. What i understood is that we must use an Interface to define a class .In the interface we will give the prototype of functions and later on we will define it in concrete class. Is that simple concept is Factory design pattern ?

how a large ASP.NET webapplication can be structured / designed with "subwebs" !? In other words I want to structure a large web-application where I have a solution with more web-application projects. These projects are more or less independent "modules". One project should be a kind of frame application with shared masterpages, an shared sitemap and and a shared authentication. Later it should also be maybe possible also to integrate loosely older websites (which where written in classic ASP. ASP.NET 1.1, ASP.NET 2.0), but this not so important at the moment

I would like to provide my client with a aspx pages, with code behind provided, etc. But in some cases they will want to write their own markup - I'm thinking of having 2 directories [siblings of each other], one for the pages I provide, and the other for their custom markup. At page serve time, check to see if the client wrote their own markup and if so use it. Otherwise use the default provided.
In a nutshell I would like for my clients to be able to modify the pages I provide, but if they blow it up have a very easy way to back it out. Or to put it in a more positive light, allow them to override my pages easily.
