hi,
i m design a attendance system for a company..... which has around 3000 employees and each employee is working in shifts .... so my table structure has employee_id, date, time_in, time_out , shift_id ......
so a employee work for two shift......two records goes into the table .....
so for a year if the employee falls in two shifts then he has 365*2 records per year ....
so for whole company 3000*365*2 records per year ....
now accessing/searching through the table becomes very time consuming.
any suggestions for storing the data or changing the table structure .
--thanx
