                                            | I am looking at transferring our current spreadsheet roster to a database. There are 5 parts to the data.Staff Details - Firstname, Surname, staffid etcRoster Details - rostertype (Onsite,R&R, Annual Leave ect)Duty Details - each 3 months a persons duties are changed in a rotating system (Duties like Cleaning, Cooking, Maintenance etc)I would like the output to be based on a date range so I need to assign each Day a roster type for each staff member, then a duty type for that date as well. Is the best option top have a table for each detail (Staff, Roster, Duty) which includes a date range for each particular item and then a view central table for Date, Staffid, RosterType, DutyType).Or is there a better way?Thanks |

                                          | Hey Guys i think that the term of duty roster is an business unit that determines what and when people in a group need to do.Such company is important in a group process or objective because it guarantees that all necessary responsibilities are finished. It also allows affiliates to see that others have been allocated duties, so they do not think that they are the only ones doing the perform.Thanks in advance!!  |

  I think you can use approach like thisHave reference tables to store STaff,Roster, Duty etcThen have a table which relates all these to indicate the type of duty for a roster assigned to an employee with period (start and enddates) for the rosterie fields as StaffID<RosterID,DutyID,StartDAte,ENdDate with all IDs joining to respective master tables via foreign key constraints------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs  |
