Question

Is there any way to address/refer to a SQL SERVER table, by its Unique Index rather its TableName ?

my Application is using multiple html tables, which are acutally within a form,

for CRUD opporations,(more R/U than Create or delete) of an Existing SQL Table.

now… that i need to mix two separated tables, in same update-form (that’s my first ‘mix’)

as i am using Jquery to pass parameters to C# code behind, so it will take care of the
update opporations, and will be able to differentiate the source of the update post/request

and i do know, i could address the table by its TableName,

i just wanted to make sure, as i was searching for some information on the web,

i’ve encountred results with the Terms sql server 2005… table index or id,

though all results seem to have something to do with, what i can call, some kind of “manipulation”, in oreder to create some indexing system /schema (i think it’s like hdds has a FAT table)

and I Emphasize “Create”,cause I was actualy looking for an existing /built in, numeric value for a “TableID”, just the same as a Table has rows and each row has its row IDENTITY – Column.

so at this point i am turning back to the real question at the top .

Answer 1

so that’s what i came up with aventually : a simple struct + a class to hold values for database

            public class DBMetaDetails
            {
                public struct DbTable
                {
                    public DbTable(string tableName, int tableId): this()
                    {
                        this.Name = tableName;
                        this.ID = tableId;
                    }
                    public string HtmlOutput;
                    public string Name { get; private set; }
                    public int ID { get; private  set; }
                }
            }


public sealed class tblsIDs
{
    public const int firstTbl= 1, SecondTbl = 2;

}

another class should be for table names

public sealed class tblsNames
{
    public const string  firstTbl= "firstTbl", SecondTbl = "SecondTbl";

}

another that will hold tables columns names …etc
