The values of user prefs itself can be complex structures instead of simple values. This makes it quite difficult to map them into SQL tables. Furthermore I prefer one read of one record instead of complex joins over multiple tables and iteration over hundreds of rows. ~Thomas _______________________________________________ Roundcube Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/users
