Hi,
My requirement is that, I want to store some common properties and some more
optional properties depending on the need of each application. Where these
optional properties need to be stored as feild value pairs. Most of the
values(almost 99.5%) values are of integer type. And there are some 100 odd
such properties
Now my problem if I want to store these optional properties, do I create a
column for each type or just store them as blob. If we store them as blob is
there any sginificat performance impact if some one stores all the properties
in one record as the record size grows. Presuming all properties are stored
taking 400 bytes for each record(at max).
Do we have any analysis the enumeration time or load time if we have large
data in one record. Or the overall impact because of couple of large records.
