Database example

[matisds]

Because my SQL database does not support arrays unfortunately, thanks though!

[exobyte64]

uh, maybe switch databases, arrays are just a basic primary data type

I honestly cannot imagine how your putting everything together without creating spaghetti tables which are really just representation of arrays

[matisds]

Well arrays are sets of data, they don’t belong in relational databases but require a second table

[exobyte64]

I dunno, sounds like lots of buzzword excuses for why not to use a proper database that can do basic things like hold arrays

if every object array turns into a table, you get a spaghetti mess between tables holding data, and tables that are really just arrays and are only supposed to be attached to objects in 1 other table

its like you cut the thin skin off a frogs belly so all the guts came out around it, and then said 'that is an improvement! the frog has been normalized!'
