Peter, may I invite you to privately share some more details on the
system you are using and the design of it? Did you implement it
using PostgreSQL? Looking forward to your reply.
(And with respect to your previous message: whom are you actually
referring to by the acronym "OPs"?)
Or publicly? I for one would be interested hearing more. From
situations I've come across, EAV seems to be proposed when either
1) attributes are very numerous and values very sparse
2) people want to be able to quickly add (and remove?) attributes
My feeling is it's probably valid for 1, at least I haven't come
across anything better, but not for 2.
