i'm looking for the word that is used to describe the following.
I have a table with columns:
-WeekNumber
-Cost (total cost per week)
I have changed the table def to be:
-WeekNumber
-DayOfWeek
-Cost (Total cost per day)
Effectively i have increased the level of detail of each record. What is the correct term for this? Cardinality comes to mind but i just googled it and I don't think its correct.
It's kind of rationalisation. Ish.
But I'd be splitting it into another table.
Granularity?
Granularity?
Edit: gah beaten by 8 seconds 🙂
Jinx!
Granularity - I'll have that!
But I'd be splitting it into another table.
Ok instead of table - I actually meant recordset otherwise a new table would have been on the cards.
Thanks all.

Why?
what sort of data types are weeknumber and dayofweek and how are they to be used
I'm asking as I don't understand your reqts(or the facilities you have) so the following might be tosh but using date types might make more sense if you want to query/sort/order/group etc the data based on date type criteria.
Depends on who you communicate this to... could also be termed a random act of sabotage depending on who consumes the row 🙂
