Good day all. I am wanting to create a db and I have had difficulties with the queries, because of the MVF in my test db. This is the scenario: I am to evaluate the condition of a piece of equipment, if it is good, no problem. But, if it is bad, I am to assign defect codes for each defect. Each code would look like this....##-##-##. The first 2 digits are a location, the second set are a system and the third a sub-system. Sometimes there my be up to 20 or more codes. I have tried to input these codes into a MVF separated by a comma, but found that my queries weren't searching the entire string in that field for a particular system (second set of digits) or the query brought up incorrect results. What suggestions does anyone have about how this db should be created? I am open to all and any suggestion. Thanks.
