Hi All,

Has anyone tried writing a db structure that would replicate a google notebook heirarchy?

I'm very interested in learning to do this. My knowledge of MSSQL is poor. I had someone else develop a db in MSSQL for me. I'd like to add a similar functionality for my website to that of google notebooks. I don't need the browser plugins and stuff, only the ability to create new notes and sub notes which can have a few fields. For instance.

A - History
----a1.Name: World War 1
----a2.Name: Germany 1918-1945
----a3.Name: World War 2
------a3i.Name: Causes of World War II
------a3ii.Notes: bla bla bl a
------a3iii.Description: These notes are about the causes of WWII
------a3.SubTopic.a1.Name: Hitler's actions prior to WWII
------a3.SubTopic.a1.Notes: notes notes notes
------a3.SubTopic.a1.Description: desc desc desc

I need to develop a max of two level heirarchy for my website to provide my students a google notebook like functionality. I want to develop it for my school's website. Can someone help?

If the database is designed already, then isn't your question on how to code this in your application? If so, that would probably be better asked in a forum that deals with your programming language specifically (if .NET I suggest www.asp.net).

I haven't designed it Tara. I wrote down what I'd like for my children to be able to do online on our school's website. I was wondering if someone could help write in MSSQL what I've written above as plain text.
Thanks
