If you want something that allows for unknown future additions of new fields, I personally would consider using adding "properties" to articles through an associative "article_property" table. Table rows would basically be name/value pairs with a foreign key pointing to an article. This allows any number of name/value pairs to be added to an article. You can get fancier and define the possible properties in an article_property_type table that the article_property table refers to. Such a construct gives maximum flexibility, but probably requires a little more glue logic, and a little performance penalty for an extra level of join. But performance isn't always as critical as we make it out to be, I think. :) Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
