Hi Everyone,

<snip>

What I was thinking of doing was to have a user defined list of
appropriate fields and their data types, per category, so that
appropriate information can be stored for each without having to build
separate data tables per category. I have not tried something like
this before and was wondering if anyone has given it a go?

Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

WOW! If you don't read Bad CaRMa to the end and don't say wow (or
worse) then please unsubscribe from my blog. <smile>

I followed a link from fellow MVP Mitch Wheat's blog entry When Design
Goes Bad, and The 'One table to Rule Them All!'
