• SQL Server Hundreds Of VIEWS

  What are the downsides to have many multiple views on a SQL Server Database It was somebody's design decision to create 10 views for each vendor in our database- that could range from 20 to 500 vendors ... which means we could potentially have 5000+ views in our database. What is the downside/problems with doing this generally, I would say no, not much downside. Depends on if they are indexed or not. if they are indexed views, I could see some slowdown as datachanges are made, but an increase on selections. this is with regards to SQL 2000 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/ ...Show All

• .NET Development Combining two ICollections into one IDictionary

  Given two ICollections, where the first one contains strings, and the second one contains Objects, is there a standard way to combine them into one IDictionary where the strings from the first provide the keys, and the Objects from the second provide the values An example would be a ConnectionStringBuilder class. It contains two ICollections, .Keys and .Values. I would like to make one HashTable out of those. Right now I CopyTo() an array for both and then loop through one array and use the indexer to extract keys and values and use those to build up my HashTable. Any tips Thanks in advance!
