Design decision: Dynamically adding data question.
...at I want to do is dynamically add metadata (or categories)
to a document on an ad hoc basis. Here are the options that I have
thought of:
**Option 1:**
Should I do this by dynamically creating new table columns in the
database?
**Option 2:**
Should I define 5 columns called
attirbute1,attirbute2,attirbute3,attirbute4,attirbute5 and then only use
and show them if the user requires the attributes.
**Option 3:**
Should I create a metadata table that keeps track of the columns and the
data associated with them?
What do you think is the best way to achieve this? Can you think of any
other ways to easily...
