| Hi Everyone, I am trying to get some hands on database design basics. I have a sample information set below and then the normalized table information Information: FirstName LastName Language Country State ZipCode TimeZone Gender BirthDate Occupation UserID Password SecretQuestion SecretAnswer Altername_EmailID Normalized Tables Derived from the above information set: User_Table: UserID varchar primary key FirstName varchar LastName varchar GenderID short BirthDate date OccupationID short Alternate_EmailID varchar Locale_Table: UserID varchar foreign key on User_Table Langauge varchar Country varchar State varchar ZipCode char TimeZone ???? Authentication_Table UserID varchar foreign key on User_Table Password varchar (Some sort of Encryption maybe required on this column) SecretQuestion varchar SecretAnswer varchar (Some sort of Encrytion maybe required on this column) Gender_Table GenderID short primary key GenderType varchar Occupation_Table OccupationID short primary key OccupationName varchar I know there is lots and lots of room for improvement on this. I am not able to decide as to how should I store the data pertaining to the TimeZone column? Kindly let me know as to what else should I do to further improvise on it. Thanks in advance, dotyet |
