database on student information management system

  • hi, I have come so far. Now i need to know something. In the Subjects table , I have columns for four types of marks(THPA, THET, PRPA, PRET) for each subject. However there are some subjects for which we dont have all four types of marks. In other words for some subjects, the students are given only two or three types of marks, say THPA ,THET and PRPA . Whereas some other subjects students are alloted only two types, say THET and PRET. How can i account for this in the database table? or I have to take care of this in my front end in VB.net?

  • Probably best if you keep this within the same thread, that way people can see everything that's already been discussed.

    This forum is manned by volunteers. We offer our assistance on our free time which means you could have to wait a while for a response, or maybe not. Unless an admin locks a thread, you can continue to post to it. That's why old threads some times become active after years of inactivity.
