    <p>I prefer the first choice of storing the information in the database for the following reasons:</p> <ul> <li>It's better for me to keep all data in the database</li> <li>most of the time the customer will ask to make it changeable, actually they would ask for some screen to allow them to change ( add, remove, update ) these information</li> <li>It's an easy mission to load most ( if not all ) this information in the cache on the system startup, and hence I don't need to make a call to the database to load all the data</li> </ul> <p>And for how to store in the Database I would prefer the foreign column technique, and I won't use a second column to store the value for two reason</p> <ul> <li>First, most of the time I will load the <code>Other</code> table in the cache, so I don't worry about database performance issue</li> <li>For the scenario where the customer want to update the <code>Other</code> table values, I don't have to pass on all tables that stores the values and change it.</li> </ul> <p>For some situation I won't mind using <code>String</code> primary key for the <code>Other</code> table, and hence I would store the value directly and keep the <code>Other</code> table for description and any related information. since for most cases the size of the table would be very small compared to core tables in the system (employee, users, carts, products, ... etc). However I should guarantee that the string values would be very rarely updated (countries table for example).</p>

    1. COThe question wasn't about whether or not to store it in the DB, it was about *how* to store it in the DB. Do you use one field or two to record the chosen option?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
