1So, all of your options have their place. Can you talk more about what your objectives are, what you're trying to optimize for, etc? As it stands, answers have to be kind of opinion-based w/o you giving some parameters on which to judge the best option.Paul– Paul2018-08-23 19:14:28 +00:00Commented Aug 23, 2018 at 19:14

Option #4 is to denormalize the tables using views. A good ORM will still allow you to map a class to a view in the database, although you can't do inserts, updates or deletes without jumping through some additional hoops.Greg Burghardt– Greg Burghardt2018-08-23 20:23:11 +00:00Commented Aug 23, 2018 at 20:23

4Suppose you denormalize the user-ids into user names and then a user changes their name. Would you then update all previous tweets with the name change, or would you accept that that person is suddenly no longer tagged in the older tweets (which could be just a few seconds old).Bart van Ingen Schenau– Bart van Ingen Schenau2018-08-24 07:33:01 +00:00Commented Aug 24, 2018 at 7:33

As @BartvanIngenSchenau alludes to, denormalization is associated with a lot of problems. Is there a specific reason you are considering it?JimmyJames– JimmyJames2018-08-24 17:09:13 +00:00Commented Aug 24, 2018 at 17:09

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
