    <p>If you are using ASP.NET MEmbership and the Anonymous Provider for anonymous users, then each anonymous user gets a row created in aspnet_Users table as soon as you say Profile.Save(). In that case, you can track both anon and registered users viewing certain Page. All you need to do is record the aspnet_user's UserID and the QuestionID.</p> <p>However, I strongly discourage doing this at database level since it can blow up your database. If you have 10,000 questions and 1,000 registered users and 100,000 anonymous users, and assuming each user visits 10 questions on an average, then you end up having 1M rows in the tracking table. Quite some load. </p> <p>Moreover, doing a SELECT COUNT() on the tracking table is quite some load on the database, especially you are doing this almost every page view on your forum. Best is to keep a total counter at the Question table against each question. Whenever you get a unique user looking at a page, you just increase the counter. </p> <p>Also don't create a FK relationship to the user table from the tracking table. You will need to cleanup the aspnet_users table as it piles up a lot of anonymous users over time who will most likely never come back. So, the tracking page needs to just have the userID field, and no FK. Moreover, you will have to cleanup the tracking table over time as well as it will keep getting millions of rows. That's why the TotalView counter needs to be at the Question table and never use SELECT COUNT() to calculate the number of views while displaying the page.</p> <p>Does this answer your question?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
