Hello All,
I'm in the process of creating a table to store a category and a
subcategory. It's possible for there to be multiple levels of this
structure, e.g. a subcategory may have another subcategory.
One of my co-workers suggested we just make a table with 10 category
columns. I don't think I really like this idea, it seems to like "old"
database design. With a recursive SQL statement I can go up or down to find
the category hierarchy. To me this seems much more scalable.
So my question is, how are others handling this?
Thanks in advance,
