Database Table design for Weekdays and Values
- by Ved
Guys,
I would love to here your ideas on this. I am creating a table which will store weekly shift hours for employees.
for example: Jon works 9:00am tp 9:00pm Monday , 10:00 AM to 5:00PM on Tuseday etc....
How should i go on designing this table.
I thought of 2 options.
(1) For every record I can have two lines for AM and PM and have columns for Monday to Sunday
ID | ParentID | Type | Monday | Tuseday ......Sunday
1 | 1 | AM | 9:00 | 9:00 12:00
2 | 1 | PM | 9:00 | 5:00 02:00
3 | 2 | AM | 10:00 |
4 | 2 | PM | 10:00 |
(2) I can save Preference in XML format in one column
ID | Info
1 | |Hours|Monday|9:00 AM - 9:00PM|Monday|Tuseday........|Hours
Any better ideas ?
Thanks
