| I'm looking for some design advice. I'd like to be able to track a person's participation in up to 1000 events using a sql table. The only way I've been able to think of to do that would be to have a table with 1000 fields: name, event1, event2, event3, etc, and have all the event fields be True/False to be able to track if they've participated or not. But there seems like there should be a better way to do that than to have a table that's 1000 fields wide.Any thoughts on this? |
