droidus Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 how would i set up database for a site such as facebook? no details needed. just wondering how you do messages, friends, and so on? would you have a column for friends, have them listed with commas after each, then just pull from those names?

trq Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 would you have a column for friends, have them listed with commas after each, then just pull from those names No, you would use good design and database normalization.

ManiacDan Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Facebook uses a graph database, not a traditional relational database.
