Hi list,
i am in the middle of breaking my head over designing a database and came to
the following question/problem: i have persons whose values (integer) have to
be entered in the db, but per person the amount of values ranges from 10 to
around 50. Now my question is if it makes sense, concerning performance, to
store these integer values in arrays or if it is better to change the design so
that the values are stored separately in fields in tables. I have to add, that
it is not unlikely (or at least it won't happen very often) that select queries
will try to find one of those specific values, but rather something like select
* from persons where person_id=...
Thanks
Chris
