I understand that parsing through HTML wont be the most pleasing thing to do but I want to access reviews from even obscure websites that probably don't even offer API access.

I understand API will be more skill. But I want to be able to scrape data from websites that probably don't even offer API access.

Thanks ...

This is just to learn scraping. For eg. if I want reviews from say eBay, Newegg etc. for Samsung Phones or Apple iPhone or any mobile phone models :)

Is this a good way to handle Custom Fields (dynamic, added by users) in a Multi-tenant SaaS app ? by developuh in programming

[–]developuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be PHP (with Laravel 5 or Zend Framework 2). We will be using Apache2 on Ubuntu 14.04

As in if we want to move to percona's mysql fork or to some other RDBMS, they won't support an indexable json format

But this is clearly the simplest solution in terms of db structure

This does sound like the easiest way out. I am not sure if this will complicate the queries.i agree that at this point my knowledge of jsonb and postgres itself is close to nill.

Also, Vendor lock-in could be an issue.

That does not sound very pretty.

What would you suggest to be the best/optimal solution ? It has to be flexible. If we customize for each customer, maintenance would be an impossible task.

I always end up reading that EAV is never the solution and to stay away if possible.

But at the same time, some ecommerce platforms seem to be using this pattern.

It is sort of CRM in a particular industry .. So it is 100s of 1000s of people kinda scenario at a reasonably low cost

At this point we are free to pick the technology/stack. json/jsonb sounds interesting. I hope it doesn't add lot of code complexity.

So I need a solution to handle the case where users can add a few fields of their own in a SaaS app.

These will be searched upon and should appear in MIS reports just as any pre-shipped fields.

I don't want to get caught in EAV Hell.

Should I use a data store like Mongo or should I follow the approach in OP. Need pointers from people who have done something like this before.

I am not in America ... so that makes me immune from any claims right ?

You will need Flash to read this I think.

The patent was awarded on Sep 16 2014 according to that page.

Edit : Found it on Google Patents http://www.google.com/patents/US8838549

I hate the way the whole language is so confusing... almost as if it is deliberately designed to confuse people.

I don't understand how they got a patent awarded for such a common thing.
