SQL数据库设计与一些用户定义的字段

时间:2022-12-21 12:33:33

I'm developing a database schema to handle collection of data and later, reporting on this data.

我正在开发一个数据库模式来处理数据收集,然后报告这些数据。

After a requirements discussion, it seems that either an entity-attribute-value (EAV) solution, or a flat table solution would be alright - since the data is somewhat sparse but not highly sparse.

在需求讨论之后,似乎实体 - 属性 - 值(EAV)解决方案或平面表解决方案都没有问题 - 因为数据有点稀疏但不是非常稀疏。

However, user defined fields will become a must in the future, but I understand that querying and optimizing an RDBMS with EAV tables can become complex.

但是,用户定义的字段将成为未来的必备字段,但据我所知,使用EAV表查询和优化RDBMS会变得复杂。

I've taken a look at the discussion here, and I was thinking an option similar to option 1 would be possible. For example, have a number of set fields, then a number of spare fields that users can define the labels of.

我已经看过这里的讨论了,我认为可以选择类似于选项1的选项。例如,有许多设置字段,然后是一些用户可以定义标签的备用字段。

In terms of reporting, is there any downside in using this approach rather than using EAV?

在报告方面,使用这种方法而不是使用EAV是否有任何不足之处?

You will regret EAV, especially when it comes to reporting

你会后悔EAV,特别是在报道方面

  1. Make sure you're aware of existing data model patterns before you try anything: Ready to use database model patterns

    在尝试任何操作之前,请确保您了解现有的数据模型模式:准备使用数据库模型模式

  2. Familiarize yourself with Table Inheritance: How can you represent inheritance in a database?

  3. Consider allowing users to modify their own schemas: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/UserDefinedField.html

  4. EAV is almost always a really bad idea. If you still need custom fields after trying the above, use a blob type (like JSON or XML) with indexing: http://backchannel.org/blog/friendfeed-schemaless-mysql . Postgres's binary jsonb is fast and allows indexing/querying

    EAV几乎总是一个非常糟糕的主意。如果在尝试上述操作后仍需要自定义字段,请使用带索引的blob类型(如JSON或XML):http://backchannel.org/blog/friendfeed-schemaless-mysql。 Postgres的二进制jsonb速度很快,允许索引/查询
