| take a minute to go read one of my first reply's to you in this thread.
| you'll see that's exactly what i proposed to you. i still don't like it
| though.
well, you not liking it is not compelling argument :) i don't necessarily
like it, but think it's important anyways.
| but you're missing the point. as long as we have to ensure the integrity
of
| the vote (ie, each user can only vote once), then there's no chance of
100%
| anonymity.
[snipping some compelling argument]
| let me give you an example:
|
| SELECT *
| FROM results
| WHERE voteid = 1
| ORDER BY resultsid
[...]
| SELECT *
| FROM anonresults
| WHERE voteid = 1
| ORDER BY anonresultsid
|
| ANONRESULTSID VOTEID QUESTIONID USERID
what happens if there is no anonresultsID ??
can't the table be automatically ordered by userID?
doesn't that mean, that when i request the data from the table, i get them
ordered by userID and if there is no anonresultsID there is no guaranteed
way of putting them in the order they were casted
thanks
*the persistent one*
