In DBs you
have to set the type of a column and cannot change it for each row. So
this is why you need multiple tables and/or columns to store the
property values. Another option would be to use only BLOBs to serialize
all types of values, but this would unnecessarily waste space and
efficiency on the DB back-end.
aha? why would that be the case? did you try that? well, i tried ;)
No I must say I didn't try. I just assumed so. Is your implementation
available somewhere ? Can you share it ?
