Apr 16, 2015 at 10:07 comment added satya prakash Panigrahi We have considered this option but the current scenario is like, we already have a working code, up and running wherein there's only one SecID for each UserID. Now there's a new requirement as per which a particular User can have multiple SecIDs. Since there's already a set of existing functions for (SecID-UserID) pair, so we are trying to accommodate this new requirement in our existing environment. Adding a new Table would mean having to add new methods to our program. So this doubt :)
