I think  you are asking about normalization.\nIf so please be more precise.

If you need to persist data across several different applications, I would suggest persisting the information to the database in the form of a profile. I believe that 2.0 offers this type of functionality almost out of the box.\n\nYou might want to google for .net profiles:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=.net+2.0+profiles

using multiple machines to server a MySQL database.  if one goes down, the system stays up...and the amount of requests you can service is scalable...

bigbubba is right. SQL is far more stable when multi-user access is needed.\n\nif you cannot afford a SQL server, you can use MSDE from Microsoft which is free.

Object Oriented databases may be characterized quite simply; they typically represent database systems that integrate tightly with a language with object-oriented features such as C++, Java, or Smalltalk, that allow programs to link data structures to databases in such a way that the data structures trivially become "persistent."\n\nthus once you tie a data structure to the database, you no longer need to be concerned about whether a piece of data is in memory or not. as soon as your program refers to it, the data will be pulled into memory if it is not already there. As soon as your program updates the data, it will be updated into the database.

Query the RDBMS's internal schema for that information. Also can check data types using regex on values, as well as defining meta-data for test you want to run, and a utility script to use it against defined tables.  (If the database is set up correctly, you shouldn't experience anomalies in the first place.)

There is two basic concepts with database security:\n\n1. Access Control \n\nOnly let those who you want to have access and permissions to do what you want to allow them to do.\n\n2. Data Security\n\nIf data is obtained from the database, to what extent is the data protected.  Encryption is the concept here.

Well, big or small database (esp SQL) needs some heavy encryption and fast processing. Well , people been using Intel Itanium 1,2 or Xeons for a long time now. They are reliable and you can customize it and you get warranty as well.

You may need to give more details on "nested transactions"\nWith certain degree of assumption, i can answer ..\n\nHere is what I assume, you want ..\n\nBegin\nDML1\n  DML2\n   something ...\n  depending on some IF condition..commit only upto DML2\n   ------\n   ------\n  depending on some IF condition..commit only upto DML1\nIf this is what you want.. you could use a predicate called \nSET AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION  ..\nOracle documents will give more info on how exactly to implement that ...
