[SQL] Celko take on EAV

2010-05-07 Thread Richard Broersma 


I'm rereading my Joe Celko's SQL Programming Style and I noticed an
interesting comment regarding the EAV model (of course he discourages
its use):

"There are better tools for collecting free-from data."

What tools was he referring to?
