Hi everyone
First of all, I am new to database design. I have never done any
kind of database design before. Because of unforseen circumstances, I
have been forced to design the database myself.
Currently I have a web based system that is purely based on flat
files. This system consists of a large number of .html, .pdf, .xls,
.gif, .jpeg files. All of these files are organized in a hierarchical
tree sturcture on a UNIX system. My job is to design an Oracle 8
database to move all the files from the file system into the database.
The current system is running on Solaris 2.6 with Apache web server.
Oracle 8 database is going to run on Solaris 7.0 with Apache web server
again.
If there is anyone out there who has done similar kind of work or
has some knowledge as how to approach this problem, I would really
appreciate your response. Also any information on database design books
will be helpful.
Thanks
Sach
