I need help on design decision. we are developing an intranet application using asp.net and sql server 2000 for a group of Institutions.
With the present design is there is a common database fro all institutes which has user related info and master tables and antoher database
for all institute related data.This second database we are planning to replicate for each institute. That is the schema is same, but the data will be different.
Is this design a practical one/ is there a better strategy?
The issues in front of us are
1. we are having all the master tables in the common database.Should we replicate this to each individual database ,if so how?
2. Otherwise how should be the databse design.In future one of the institute may move to a differnt location, if we are having individual databases this migration will be easier we feel.
3. can anyone give me nay sample or any useful link.
thanks & regards

I think you can restore the backup copy of current database as DB01, DB02...for different institutions. And from each database restored so you can delete the unwanted data.

It is always good to have seperate databases.

There are no tools that I can think of specific to your case.
