sorry... i remember when this list had about 10-20 mails per day...
we about less then 30 the last week...
pre-semestral silence ... the silence before the storm :) and there were many problems with the mail last weeks - virii etc.
maybe this explains... but hey!
People, start asking. i will ask ! i need to build a database.i haven't built any databases yet (i did access db's though)here's the questions i have:
Abstract: the db will contain information about real estates (flats/houses etc.) i thought in OOD terms, and came to: address, person, estate - data "objects" or - tables.using these terms, there will be relations between these tables.
i understand there's solution of "simply" putting it all into 1 huge table. and search by simple or/and matches. what i don't unserstand is: how do i decide how much to go down with the most basic tables, vs. one huge table. as someone pointed this out to be the "normalization" question.
Q1: where do i read about it ?
books/links appreciated. real examples appreciated too.
Q2: which platform shall i use for the GUI frontend of this DB, given that i chose the DBMS to be PostgreSQL. i have written in: C, C++, Java (i see C isn't much of a help in GUI...except maybe GTK frontend) i think i also can handle Python. which tools are there ? what you suggest ? need Hebrew support, of course .. so if GUI supports - good for it.
Thanks in advance!
