Hi all,
I'm working on a simple site to help me and others determine which handheld/game/phone 
to buy.

Before it had a table like this:
Phone,color y/n,wireless y/n, etc...

Now it is many tables so that new fields can be added while the site is up without 
having to
change the db structure.

First table is called specs:

Specs:
ID, Name ID, Field ID, Value ID
example:
1,1,1,1 would be a spec 

Names:
ID, Name
1, Motorola T720
2, Nokia Ngage

Fields:
ID, Fieldname
1, Width
2, Height

Values:
ID, Value
1, 1"
2, 3"

I'm trying to print the data in a table like this:
The table heading 
Name, Field1, Field2....
where field1, field2 are filled in with the Field names from the db
whick would look like:
NAME, WIDTH, HEIGHT
followed by the table contents
Motorola, 1", 3" ...

This style of storage was recommended to me because of its flexibility but has me lost 
for query
:)
Thanks,
Steve
