Hello all,
I wanted to ask for some help. I'm taking a giant step. My goal is to learn about stored procedures, PEAR in php, OOP in php and good DB Design. The project that i choose for myself has all this.
I was hoping if the community here can tell me if im' doing a good job or not or what i should change or consider addign... so here it is.
My Project: I want to create a MYSPACE.COM, FRIENDSTER.COM type of site. I have created over 44 tables, and the most important is below.
The table below was designed to encompass all attributes of other table.. a table of foreign keys...
I figured that when a person signs in, and they perform a search to find people in there area, or people with similar interest, or back ground.. it would access this table.
Would this be a good setup.. Is the table too big and can it slow down my search ? Waht about creating indexes ( i dont know waht this is .. still researching..)
