Thanks. It appears that each of these documents is a unique entity;
therefore, a good candidate for it's own table.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
sorry, misunderstood
Invoices:
- Origin
- Form Template ID
- AWB
- Bill To Customer
- Bill To Customer Name
- Invoice #
- Invoice date
- customs Entry #
- entry date
- query handling (boolean)
- cash application (boolean)
- credit & collection (boolean)
- text search (boolean)
- shipment folder (boolean)
Customs Document:
- AWB
- Clearance #
- Customs Entry #
- Entry date
- deferement #
Cash batches:
- query handling (boolean)
- cash application (boolean)
- credit & collection (boolean)
So, you could see, we've more than 50 type of documents and in total those
have more than 70 different attributes (some are the same). There is not
one attribute that appears on every document type!!!
I would create so 50 tables (for each document type 1), but if someone has
another suggestion, I would like to do it in an other way.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
attribute is a specific part of an index-file, but those attributes are
different for all document types

What do you have as an example of an "attribute"?

Hello
I've an installation/implementation question!
We've to analyse 50 document types, in total those 50 has 70 different
attributes.
We don't want to put all those document types into one table, because more
than the half (35) of the attributes are not always used for each document
type. This will have to much disk space for each record, if most of the
fields are just blank.
Has anyone suggestions how to build our table-structure?
I've heart something about FlexFields, what are they?
Takes every field diskspace, even if it's blank (null)?
Thanks in advance for the response!
Tim
