All,
I have a single big table. After a user selects some stuff using a form, I extract some of the data from the big table into a smaller table. What’s the best way to then display that data back to the user?
I am also new to this so please forgive what may be dumb question. The smaller table is data for the user who used to form. How does it work with multiple users? If there is only one small table, will it get overwritten and messed up when there are concurrent users?
thanks,
Francis
It sounds like something is wrong for you here. Are you writing the subset of data to the “smaller table”?
Yea. I don’t know how to display it so I’m just writing it down.
How are you filtering that subset data? Can you explain your flow?
So you mean filtering to creat the subset? On the small table or the big table? Sorry.
In this part, how are you letting the user “select” and then how do you “extract”?
Ah. So the user inputs values into a form which writes them to a table. That table then has some formatting of dates and stuff. Then in a second table I look up stuff from the big table using the input data. That second table is the subset/smaller table.
Not only don’t I know how to display it, but by writing to one table, when there’s more than one user, the table get’s clobbered into nonsense.
