as i've said in previous posts, one of the things i'd like to be able to do w/ the news module is allow it to support multiple news formats - included w/ that would be the ability to define additional fields for input/display.
that leaves me w/ 2 questions that i'd like to get some general input on... 1) i was thinking of either allowing ppl to create additional tables that have a fk relationship back to a "basic" story (a basic story defines the base elements that would make up any news format) - or i was thinking that i could just expose a "clob" field on a single table and addtional info for that format could be stored as xml, but this may cause performance problems b/c of the un/marshalling that needs to be done. 2) reguardless of whatever approach is taken, there are going to be changes to the db schema, and i'm worried about having to deal w/ possible migration issues. what should our overall stance on schema changes be?
