Hi,

I have more than 15-20 tables to add/update while doing a single transaction. I also need to maintain the history for each table. What could be the best design pattern for this situvation?

The tables could be different each time.

Regards,
Rakhesh R

I would go for a datawarehouse and use a type 2 datawarehouse.
An update will then require you to expire the row to be updated and add a new row to replace the expired row.

Tip:
Datarehousing is a big big area and not to be contemplated without a thorough investigation first!

Is there any design pattern helpful for this situation? Mine is an asp.net application, where only in one page i have to capture the details to 15-20 tables and monitor the history.Rest all pages are one to one.
