Database design: multiple "options" tables vs. a single table -

-

I believe that all of us have seen this design requirement in one or another form.

The software needs to be offered for a variety of different queries / settings. Many such questions can easily cross 50 in a big project.

Now.

Do you have to fix 50+ tables with similar designs? ] [setting 1] ([ID] is not unique identifier, [name] varchar (max) no) create faucet [dbo]. [Settings 2] ([ID] is not a unique identifier, [name] varchar (max) tap)

etc.

And then these tables are linked through foreign keys like this: 

  [tab] [user's settings] ([user id] not unique identifier null , [Setting 1aid] is not a unique identifier, [setting 2 id] is not unique identifier) ​​or is it more sensible to create a "master" option table?  
  create table [dbo]. [Settings] ([ID] is not a unique identifier, [name] varchar (max) faucet [SettingCode] INT not zero)  
 
 In addition to multiplying tables with similar structure in F What are the advantages and disadvantages of Irst matters and there is no lack of integrity in the other?

I had to go with the last option in the lookup table, but a slightly different naming scheme ...

"Settings", where you store different names / descriptions of settings, with the primary key for each. Then, divide users into settings in another table. Unlimited settings, unlimited user / setting relationship

Settings

Settings ID - Primary Key
SettingName


User Settings

UserID
setting ID

c# - ListView onScroll event -

-
I am programming a simple C # application, and I need a Scallow event on the list view. So I inherited the original ListView class created in ListviewEx witch. I found out how to locate the scroll message from WinAPI and I modified the WndProc method. Now I have this WndProc: protected override zero WndProc (Ref message message) {base.WndProc (Ref I); If (m.msg == WM_VSCROLL) {onScroll (This, New EventArgs ()); }} But the problem is, I do not know how to know about scrolling information. This data should be in wParam, but there is a LOWORD macro ++ like in C in C # and I switch to find the criteria like SB_ below, SB_ENDSCROLL, SB_PAGEUP etc. there any way Need to change the LOWORD macro from C #? Or any other way to find the necessary parameters about scrolling? You can define the WParam constants as the following: Private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x114; Private Constant WM_VSCROLL = 0x115; Private contact int SBHOZZ = 0; Private Consultant SB_VERT = 1; Private Con...

Linux Terminal Problem with Non-Canonical Terminal I/O app -

-
I have a small app written in C to run on Linux. Part of the app accepts user-input from keyboard , And it uses non-canonical terminal mode so that it can respond to each keystroke. The section of the code that accepts input is a simple task that is called repeatedly in the loop: char get_input () {char C = 0; Int res = reading (input_tamille, & amp; c, 1); If (RSS == 0) 0 returns; If (res == -1) {/ * snip error handling * /} return c; } It reads a letter from the terminal if there is no input within a given time limit, (c_cc [VTIME] value in the vocabulary structure), read () 0 And get_input () is called again It all works very well, I have recently discovered that if you run this app in a terminal window, and then the app Close the terminal window without ending, the app will not exit Received, but CPU intensive launches into an infinite loop, where the read () returns 0 without waiting continued. So how can I get out of the apple if it runs from the terminal win...
