I am doing some research for a new product and am at the point where I am starting to look at the DB design.

I need to store information (obviously) ranging from customer data to accounting data.

The big question that I have is.... Has anyone done ant research on the best schema to use for specific instances? I mean, if I want to store customer data, how long does the name field have to be, how should the fields be grouped together in tables to make best use of indexes, etc...

There HAS to have been some kind of study done with this in mind somewhere. I just can't find it. Received on Mon Sep 18 2000 - 17:13:05 CEST
