asp_databases thread: web page creation


Message #1 by Simon Newton <simonn@h...> on Wed, 25 Jul 2001 07:02:19 +1000
Anyone had experience with full web site population from SQL? we need to

find the "best" methods:



including: 



table structures, relational or flat data? 



should we use views and/or stored procedures or only asp code?



methods of populating the database?



any hints, tricks or warnings about traps would be greatly appreciated.





Simon.

Very broad hints, since there is a paucity of detail in your post:



Normalise data, unless you have a good reason not to (eg to speed up your

site)



Always use sprocs. Grant Exec rights to the necessary user on the sprocs -

this way if your user account is compromised, at worst, all that can happen

is that the attacker can run the sprocs. As well, sprocs are by and large

faster than SQL statements



Cheers

Ken

ken, just on entering data from the site (a page)...



If i have a large normalised database how do i structure my UPDATES 

(perhaps

as stored procedures) so that the primary key (which is an incremental

identity seed) of the main table is caught by the other relational 

tables

and populate the correct rows as a foreign keys...



hope that's a bit clearer then mud..



Simon.
