Hello All,
I have to create a table which will contain my business rules.
like House Rent will be 60% of Basic Salary.

one option is to have a field in that table, which will contain a complete Query.
like Select BasicSalary*60/100 from EmployeeSalaryTable where EmployeeID=?.

The Value Against ? mark will be pasted from SP which will call this rule

But I have been asked to do some thing else.
Now I want to make a 'configuration' table which can contain the definition of my rule.

Can Any one help me in this regard that what should be the structure of my table?

Thanks in advance.

It is a very bad design to store queries in a table.

Could you show us other business rules so that we can figure out if a table would be the best place for this data?
