Re: Radio Buttons

It depends on your database design. Assuming you have only one table of questions ("question") and can have many questions, I think you should store the value resolved itself like "Needs Improvement", this way you do not need a translation table of the form 0=>"Needs Improvement". You can also create only one "Answers" table with all possible results. You may have, say 7 possible answers. Imagine "Needs Improvement" is the 4th record and your present radio button only has three choices, its values could not be 0,1,2 but you must set the right value ( stored ) to each option.
