Create survey project

Hello experts,

I have project of survey containing 1000 questions. 25 questions per page. I want store the survey in database at last page. So how can I maintain the values since I need to store the value only after last page. Which strategy is better like Session, cache, querystring OR any else?

I would store it question by question, then periodically in the database run a query to delete any questionnaires that were not finished completely.

How many questions are you actually presenting to the user in total, 25 out of 1000?

How are you storing the 1000 question you have now?

Thanks for you answers. I have tables for question and their options. I don't want to store in database periodically. We are showing all 1000 questions, 25 questions per page. I want to store in database when the user hits button "Complete Survey" which is at last page of survey. I can do this with temporary tables as @kswathi said. We can also do with session, cache objects. Whats the better idea? If I use session object and 1000 users doing the survey then is it feasible solutions to create 1000 session or cache objects for users. That is what I mean?

hi,

For the survey project are you using any wizard control to load the pages & questions appear??

if you are using a wizard control then you can create a data table and add values for each next page & in last page you can commit to db using table valued parameters.
Hope it helps.
