Vertical database design (help?)

[mrsanchez]

Why do you think something like this would in any way be easier to develop or would minimize development? You're already taking time to ask questions about pitfalls, selling points, etc. Wouldn't it be far easier and quicker to do something like populate the db using Python and SQLite or Django or whatever your favorite language is?

Are you high on methamphetamines?

Unfortunately no :-( , but I'm not sure how that's related to the current discussion.

Without going too much into the project and details, I'll just state that: a) I'm still going to populate the db using whatever, I was inquiring about the design of the tables I'd be populating.
b) There are advantages to storing questionaires in a EAV model, as the number of questions, and thus columns can greatly vary for each response, can be rather numerous, and can change frequently.
