Hi,

I'm designing a schema for storing route info in a H2 database.
A route consists of metadata as well as a sequence of coordinates (from 
hundreds to thousands of coordinate pairs).
>From a modelling and performance perspective what would be the recommended 
way to store the data?
Using a normalised database schema or packing the coordinates in H2 ARRAY 
elements?
Once a route is created, waypoints associated with it are never updated, 
but other metadata will be.

CREATE TABLE route (
  id IDENTITY,
  name VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE waypoint (
  route_id BIGINT,
  lat DOUBLE NOT NULL,
  lon DOUBLE NOT NULL,
  timestamp BIGINT,
  FOREIGN KEY (route_id) REFERENCES route(id)
);

or

CREATE TABLE route2 (
  id IDENTITY,
  name VARCHAR(50),
  waypoints ARRAY
);
