database - How do I setup keywords in this case? -
i making db hold drawings / files / notes or links these items. i'm making program let user type in keyword , give them links drawings/ files/ or notes. i'm not sure how store keywords , still have fast enough work.
example table main id area type specific file keywords 1 rx1 icc tester .. lock, sg1, va2, cn1, cn2, sgp, vu, boof 2 rx1 ecu tester .. sg1 , ba3, yys, yyz, yyx, lock 3 rx3 ecu control .. sg2, sg3, va2, yys etc....
so user select area type specific, , type in keyword results. there 10,000 rows. , keywords anywhere 1 200.
second can done in ms access db? know access has limits it's have installed , used working with.
don't keep keywords in main table. instead, keep keyword table , filetokeyword table many many relationship. have no limit number of keywords each item.
your primary key table should both columns (fileid, keywordid) , search 3-table join.
i answered similar question yesterday
table examples per request in comments:
table main ---------- id area type specific file 1 rx1 icc tester .. 2 rx1 ecu tester .. 3 rx3 ecu control .. table keywords -------------- keyword_id keyword_text 1 lock 2 sg1 3 va2 4 cn1 5 cn2 6 sgp table filetokeyword ------------------- fileid keywordid 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 1 6 2 1 2 3
notes:
in keywords table
- keyword_id primary key
- keyword_text unique
in filetokeyword table
- fileid foreign key table main
- keywordid foreign key table keywords
- the combination of both columns primary key
your select should this:
select id, area, type, specific, file main inner join filetokeyword on(id = fileid) inner join keywords on(keywordid = keyword_id) keyword_text in('lock', 'sg1') , area = 'rx1' -- other conditions might want add
