Database Design Question

Posted by Michael_Burgess on 06/08/07 11:12

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to database design, having only really worked with
existing tables etc in the past.

Simple question this really...........

In a users table, is it wise to have a ManagerID column that is
effectively pointing to another user in the same table, with the
theory being that if that person is top dog, they will just have a
null entry in ManagerID.

I will check for circular references before entering the data.

Is there a better way of storing the data, or is this the only way?

Thanks,
Michael.
