Since the web form created in this case is a simple web-based client/server application transferring data to the server, the use of .Net allows the programmer to quickly integrate within a given website application either as a code segment or as an add-in to the website. This further justifies the choice of the programming language and the platform chosen to perform the client server data transfer task.
10. Technical Approach
In this section a comprehensive overview on the technical deployment of the system design is presented to the reader.
Database deployment
The SQL Server database for the proposed application comprises of the master table where the information captured in the web form is stored for further processing by server-side applications. Hence a single table to store the information is created in the SQL database server. The table information is configured for backup using the backup and recovery features of SQL Server 2005 Express in order to accomplish continuity in the use of information for analysis.
The database server is then configured for access control and user authentication for performing effective data management and secure storage of information for analysis.
The fields in the table and their data types are listed below
Field
Data Type
Description
EntryID
numeric(18, 0)
This is a unique identifier for the record stored in the data table. The value is increased by one each time a new record is appended to the database. This field data type is similar to the auto number data type in MS Access databases.
