Is there a good way that I can store an array in a single row using MySQL?
I was taught that under a clean relational database design, arrays should
be stored one element per row. However, this makes retrieving the entire
array less practical, especially when I have an array of arrays.
I've thought about storing an array of words as a VARCHAR() string, and
using a FULLTEXT index to search through it, but I'm concerned about
efficiency.
What should I do?
