SparK_BR Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 hmm... it's a single table "computers" I guess, then you store the name and specs and type (server, client, terminal, etc...) not sure what use that would have but I guess that's it Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247877-database-design/#findComment-1272832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpcicero Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 What about to have the following tables. device (PC,Router,etc) device_type (descriptive table) device_network (how devices are linked ) device_spec I should use a device_spec table (device specification, where all specific properties are stored for each device). For instance, device_spec_id | device_id | attribute | value 1 | 1 | ip address | 168.... 1 | 1 | location | server room Using the device_type you now witch attributes belongs to each device. But I not very sure about what is the problem you are trying so solve. Hope to help you.
