Management of Database Including Obsolete Entries

Asked By JosephGAguilar 40 points N/A Posted on - 06/04/2013

Some of the combo boxes that offer options have become obsolete. Therefore all along the lines appears the text: "WHERE my table. Obsolete=false". It gives me no problems when I’m making a new entry, but the old records are not displayed correctly anymore.

Do you think is possible to modify the program so it can contain all entries that are not obsolete and even those that are obsolete?

Management of Database Including Obsolete Entries

Hi Joseph,

Basing from knowledge with algorithms you can still change the program and then this will affect even older records. You can put a recurring function that can scan all through your record to remove the Obsolete fields.

In this way you can make sure that all your records will have consistency and integrity but be cautious as this may lead to duplicate items.
