Hi,

I am making an application with financial data spanning multiple years.

I will be requiring to make multi year analysis.

I require your suggestions in following aspects for keeping single or multiple databases for each year:

1. The right logical way for ease of working and making analysis in long run and taking backups etc.

2. The legal requirements for keeping single or multiple financial databases in India.

Thanks

Too vague question to answer it directly.

I'd suggest to use single database. It enables you to make analysis using single database instead many of them. Don't forget to add datetime data type field into your table(s) to recognize which financial data belong to which year ;)

I don't know the legal requirement for storing financial databases in India ;(
