I mean, what happens, if you have many different types, would it be better to pre-define all possible combinations in the scheme or would it be better to use a normalized scheme? Just from a performance point of view of course, elegance is somewhat different :D But I think the difference would be negigible because you only shift the lookup problem. Robert Fernando,

I've been neglecting the blog due to work lately, but I'm sure coming back to it. I'm standing by for OpenSQL Camp in Portland with my Percona team mates right now, that should give me some nice blogging material for my return :) Thanks for the message chris.
