Hai fellas
I have few Master tables (say States, Districts, etc).
Now when the proj loads for the first time, I collect the default values (eg the states which the user reqires).

We need this info all through the session of the proj.

What would be the best way to store these for future manipulations?

I feel that it would be better if we have seperate tables to store defaults for each category.

Could you confirm my assumption or provide a better alternative.

Thanks in advance

I feel that it would be better if we have seperate tables to store defaults for each category.

This is the approach we use to store user defaults and program preferences. Using a table is nice for a number of reasons not the least of which is that settings and preferences "travel" with the user from machine to machine.

Hack,
A lil more clarification pls.
Do we store them in seperate table(s) as I said in OP or we can have a boolean field in the Master table and have a True/Check to denore the default ones.
