3If attributes have to be configured by an end user, EAV like your key/value table is probably your best choice. Just consider to add also some metadata (for example, for describing the data type of each value).Doc Brown– Doc Brown2018-05-30 16:01:23 +00:00Commented May 30, 2018 at 16:01

@DocBrown An EAV is simple to set up, but doesn't perform very well...btilly– btilly2018-05-30 17:14:58 +00:00Commented May 30, 2018 at 17:14

Sounds like a document database would be ideal for this situation, particularly since they are more efficient at searching than normal RDBMS with JSON field support bolted on.Berin Loritsch– Berin Loritsch2018-05-30 17:28:53 +00:00Commented May 30, 2018 at 17:28

@BerinLoritsch Actually RDBMS systems have better reliable performance than document databases. See percona.com/live/e17/sites/default/files/slides/….btilly– btilly2018-05-30 19:57:50 +00:00Commented May 30, 2018 at 19:57

@btilly, I'll have to check that out when I get home. I'm having difficulty downloading the PDF at work. However, I will say that MongoDB (mentioned in the file name) is the last document database I reach for. Might not be a fair comparison.Berin Loritsch– Berin Loritsch2018-05-30 20:26:55 +00:00Commented May 30, 2018 at 20:26

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
