This is more about adding custom data to existing tables. I think
what Ben wants is more along the lines of a table like
(class, id, field, value) with functions like
mgd_get_custom(class, id, field)
mgd_set_custom(class, id, field, value)
mgd_del_custom(class [, id [, field]])
mgd_list_custom(class [, id])
This would not be too hard, but for reasons of both efficiency and
flexibility you're probably better off storing these in a separate
database.
Oh, BTW: Merry Christmas, y'all!
Bye,
Emile
