database design


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I got a page which allow candidate to type in their previous working experience,
I let user to choose the start date and end date and then system will automatically
calculate the total experience in years and months.

So when the I need to save the data, should I save the generated total experience?

Some of my friends said I should not store the total experience in database, due to the total experience is based on the start date and end date.

First I was think about if we don't store the total exp, when the time come to search, Let say I want to search for a candidate which has total experience equals to 10 years,
I have to use mysql to do the calculation, I was wonder whether it will slow down on the select query?

if I got millions row in the database? will it affect the performance?
