    You are describing your new project as a librarian project, is that correct?... no OLTP no DSS?

  • Yup there will not be any OLTP and DSS.

    If this is the case I suppose you would be concerned about indexing and searching; are you sure a search appliance like Google's doesn't solve your issue?

  • The main scope of this project is

    1) The documents(Can be of any type and can be of no of pages is scanned,stored document type wise/department wise)

    2) The users can be able to retrive from the UI the scanned document from web.

    So I would like to know no of tables and table structures,fk,pk and table relations to be created for this db design.

  • You really need to collect more information about a project before trying to start a design.

    Some things to think about are: the number of documents, the format you want to store them, are users accessing over a LAN or a WAN, appropriate search times, archiving windows, forms of data entry, etc.

    If this is a system of any size, the cost of bringing in an architect to help you design the database and application would probably be insignificant compared to the cost of starting with a bad design.

    mmmhhh...

    On one hand please note I volunteer my time to answer specific questions. I don't mean to be rude but I'm not going to do your job; you are getting paid to do it, isn't it?

    On the other hand as previous poster said you do not have enough information to do anything yet.
