What kind of content?
Is it possible to design regular table for it (a set of properties is
clear a priori)?
a set of ID numbers and no not really. the boxes are unique to a
destination and the content list/set is unique to the box. I'd have a
bajillion tables :(
BTW, there is some interesting constrib module - contrib/hstore - that
allows to work with structures similar to perl's hashes. And, one more
- contrib/ltree - that provides the tree-like structures. Both are
based on GiST - that means support of index and, therefore, good
perfomance. Consider using these extensions.
id like to stay away from addons if i can avoid it you know?
thanks,
eric
