Table DesignHi,
I am trying to design my database to handle dynamic user input. Currently, there is the standard order and order details design. In order details holds the product id and other product data. Each product could have user input that needs to be stored and the user input is different for each product. I thought about using a field in order details and store the user input in there using a coding logic. Any ideas how to store this data? Thanks Please explain what "user input" is. Is this user comments, suggestions,
product specs? What data type is it?

values for different products? i.e. Product1 may have values for color, weight Product2 may have values for horsepower, traction control, antilock breaks Product3 may have values for flavor, color Product4 may have other as yet to be defined values Is this what you are trying to do?
