Default Re: Database/Table Design Question - Object/Event Model

Hi Oran,

If you have a LastEventID on tbl_Folder, why do you need the same
functionality on tbl_EventLog? Aah - going back to your original
question, it looks like you've implemented the "add a LastEventID
column to tbl_Object" approach

Maybe I'm just getting pedantic about the naming, but for me a log
table is there to record the where's and when's of events occurring.
Adding history tracking to a log table seems like a pretty unusual
thing to have to do, as the history is already intrinsic to the data.

You still haven't really gone into detail on how these tables are/will
be used... As always, there are a number of ways to produce the
results you are after, the "best" way comes down to balancing your
costs vs requirements equation.

Good luck!
