one table vs 100+ tables
I have about 100+ charts (each chart is a group of trendlines with data
points and labels for each point, and the x and y axis may vary between charts) and I want to create a database from it with the capabilty to 1. search charts by category, title, x, y, etc. create a list of results, and draw the chart when user click on one of the search result. 2. be able to expand, such as adding data to a chart or adding charts. Is Access capable to handle it? If not, what other choise I have for a simple cheap design? If Access is ok, I have the following question. I'm trying to come up a design for creating charts out of tables. I have two design ideas in mind, would you suggest me the better one, or come up a new idea? Idea A. all charts in one or a few tables with an extra field as chart name pro: can use one function to draw all the charts con: may have to add columns if future expansion requires Idea B. one table for each chart, and use chart name as table name pro: easy to maintain and update tables, and flexible to future expansion con: not sure if one function can handle all the charts by table name? the design is simpler the better, I plan to get it done in a few days (I mean the archeture, not adding data) if possible. thank you vey much in advance, Wei |
