angularjs show table per field - angularjs

I want to show the results of a MySQL query on my website using angularjs. For now, I'm showing them using a simple table with ng-repeat and it works with no problem. But because the data is a lot, I wanted to ask if it is possible to create multiple panels or tables per specific field.
To be more specific, I have 4 fields returned from the query: name, address, occupation, department. Right now I have a table such as:
George Smith Nikis 10 Project Manager Finance
Maria Bexley Lincoln 20 Project Manager Research
Chris Liggs Forks 123 Programmer Computer Science
etc. I want to know if I can create as many panels or tables as the unique values of the "occupation" field are and then show the results per that unique value inside each panel/table. So instead of the above table I would have something like:
Project Manager
George Smith Nikis 10 Finance
Maria Bexley Lincoln 20 Research
Programmer
Chris Liggs Forks 123 Computer Science

I think you need to use groupby filter
Check this fiddle by Darryl Rubarth, it contains the answer you need
http://jsfiddle.net/drubarth/R8YZh/
<div ng-repeat="item in MyList | orderBy:'groupfield' | groupBy:'groupfield'" >
You can use group by filter in ng-repeat with which you need to group

How to edit Relationship properties to only use part of the CDM Identifier in LDM?

I'm creating a conceptual data model for a simplified web store using Power Designer.
I'm having trouble specifying the relation between an Order and a Receipt. I would like a receipt to only have a part of the order's identifier in its primary key in the logical model (more specifically, only order_id). I am unable to achieve this by tweaking the relationship properties (see the screenshots bellow; the problematic relationship is marked with a green arrow).
Should I simply omit the relation in the conceptual model?

EDIT #2
I just realised that I should probably break up Order into two tables! One to track which products are on a particular order, and another to track who placed the order.
Perhaps I could even split the Order table into 3 parts
Order(order_id, order_time)
ProductsPerOrder(order_id, product_id, amount)
OrdersPlaced(order_id, username)
You have a contradiction... One part says that Order is identified by User+Product+Order; the other says that Order has its own identifier order_id.
I guess the second one is correct, with the usual design that Order has an id.
And you need to change the relationships in the CDM, between Order, and User/Product, to uncheck the Dependent property. These links are just mandatory, not dependent (which would mean that Order is defined relatively to User+Product).
p.s. the same holds for Receipt, which has its own identifier.
You can edit the relationship in the logical model!
If you click on a relationship, a Relationship properties dialog appears. There's a tab called Joins. This is where you can specify which columns to refer to with the relationship.

efficient Db Design with (many to many plus one to manys)

(revised) I have a web app where information will be entered for a user. First and last name as well as 3 Affiliations (primary, secondary, and tertiary) associated with the person. Each affiliation has 3 components (title, department, and university). So for example one record could be for:
User: Bob, Robertson
Affiliation1: Professor, Chemistry, U. Florida
Affiliation2: Director, Amazing Chemistry Institute, U. Florida
Affiliation3: Affiliated Faculty, BioChemistry, Florida Tech.
Also, Title and Department are text input fields but Univ. refers to a specific list of about 3000 university names 'univ_name' which is why it has it's own table. also affiliationOrdinal would be something like (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Users Affiliation Univ.
======= ============ =========
id_user id_affiliation id_univ
FirstName id_user univ_name
LastName affiliationOrdinal
title
department
id_univ
Thanks Sean for your feedback, I started thinking of this more as a user with multiple addresess type of problem and that has been solved many times over it seems. I picked this one as a reference. Mysql database design for customer multiple addresses and default address. So the above should be a bit closer to workable right?

Database design for voting

I am implementing a voting feature to allow users to vote for their favourite images. They are able to vote for only 3 images. Nothing more or less. Therefore, I am using checkboxes to do validation for it. I need to store these votes in my database.
Here is what i have so far :
|voteID | name| emailAddress| ICNo |imageID
(where imageID is a foreign key to the Images table)
I'm still learning about database systems and I feel like this isn't a good database design considering some of the fields like email address and IC Number have to be repeated.
For example,
|voteID | name| emailAddress | ICNo | imageID
1 BG email#example.com G822A28A 10
2 BG email#example.com G822A28A 11
3 BG email#example.com G822A28A 12
4 MO email2#example.com G111283Z 10
You have three "things" in your system - images, people, and votes.
An image can have multiple votes (from different people), and a person can have multiple votes (for different images).
One way to represent this in a diagram is as follows:
So you store information about a person in one place (the Person table), about Images in one place (the Images table), and Votes in one place. The "chicken feet" relationships between them show that one person can have many votes, and one image can have many votes. ("Many" meaning "more than one").

relational database design for multidimensional matrix questions

I am designing a relational DB for an online survey.
However, I am not sure what is the best relational database design for storing multidimensional matrix questions.
Let's say, I have the following question (sorry, it does not allow me to insert HTML table):
What was your experience of...
----------| Not friendly| (2) |Very friendly|Length of stay|Visited in the last year?|
Sydney |radio button | rb | rb | drop down | check box |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New York | rb | rb | rb | drop down | check box |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
London | rb | rb | rb | drop down | check box |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you think I should do something along the following lines or is there a better way?
To hold all the question:
Question
questionID
question
QuestionMatrix2d
matrix2dID
questionID
subquestionID
subquestion
QuestionMatrix
questionID
matrix2dID
question_parentID
And to hold all the responses:
QuestionResponse
questionID
response_code
QuestionMatrix2dResponse
questionID
subquestionID
response_code
Thank you for your help.
I disagree with ryan1234. This totally is a relational problem, and there is very little reason not to put it into a database.
I have to do a bit of guesswork though, in what you're trying to achieve here. You have an online survey, so I assume it will be used by more than one person. Your database will need to acommodate for that by having a session or user table, I'll go with the latter since it is more clear to read.
Secondly, you have a list of locations (Sidney, New York, London). I assume this list can either change over time or even from one questionaire to the next.
Then you have a set of questions. You don't explicitly state that these would be variable or fixed. Since you designed a set of tables for that, I assume it's supposed to be variable. Please note that your questions are not a matrix, but a list. Even if they are hierarchical, they still do not compose a matrix.
Last but not least you've got answers to those questions.
Lets create a users table:
user_id user_name
1 me
2 somebody else
Second table is as simple: locations
location_id location_name
1 Sidney
2 New York
3 London
Third table is a bit more complicated - and to be honest: just plain ugly. But this is what you get if you design a database in a database, and the alternatives (using DDL or storing that information in XML/JSON or even outside the database) are not pretty either. If there is a hierarchical question (your examples don't show them), you could add a "parent_question_id" column.
question_id question_text question_type question_type_info
1 How do you rate RADIO 0 to 5
2 Length of stay COMBOBOX 1 day, 2 days, whatever
3 Visited last year CHECKBOX
Finally you need a fourth table to store all the answers
user_id location_id question_id value
1 1 1 2 <-- value here means "rating of 2"
1 1 2 5 <-- value here means "5 days"
1 1 3 1 <-- value here means "yes, visited last year"
Yep. ugly as well. If you had a fixed list of questions I could provide you with a pretty database :)
Edit: Answering to your comments: To link your questions to a survey, you'll need a few more tables surveys defining which questions for which locations are going to be asked. The following database layout lets you specify a list of locations and a list of questions asked as well as a survey name.
Table surveys:
survey_id survey_name
1 Spring 2013 London Travel Survey
2 Spring 2013 Northern Hemisphere Short Survey
Table survey_questions:
survey_id question_id
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
Table survey_locations:
survey_id location_id
1 1
2 1
2 2
The contents I put in here gives you two surveys. Survey #1 will ask all three questions just on one location: 'London'. Survey #2 will just ask one question on both London and New York. If you want to ask different questions on different locations your table layout will have to accommodate for that, but such a system won't fit into your original table-like layout.
Having done things similar to this, I would recommend considering not turning this into a relational problem. What if you have objects and just serialize them to something like JSON and store that?
Doing this relationally you'll end up spending quite a bit of time making tables and wiring together complex drawing code in your application to make sure the questions/answers draw in the right order etc.
Otherwise I think you can make your approach work. There is no silver bullet for designing survey stuff in an RDBMS.

Human Name lookup / translation

I am working on a requirement to match people from different databases. One tricky problem is variance in names like Bob - Robert, Jim - James, Lizzy - Elizabeth etc across databases.
Is there a lookup/translation available for this kind of a requirement.
Take a look at my answer (as well as the others) here:
Tools for matching name/address data
You'd need to implement a lookup table with the alternate names in it:
Base | Alternate
----------------
Robert | Bob
Elizabeth | Liz
Elizabeth | Lizzy
Elizabeth | Beth
Then search the database for the base name and all alternates. You'll end up with a number of multiple matches which will then need to be checked to see if they really match based on a comparison of whatever other data you have in the two databases. Maybe the dates of the records in each database could be used - records entered close in time indicate the same person.
