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

 

yes.. i'm thinking the same way but still .. before i go for this design i`m looking for more ideeas / options.. :) see how it fits better.

was thinking separating in two tables end user computer and one table for the data center split in two 1 for nodes and 1 for main computer/s

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.
