am trying to design a good database, that has a matrix of data per record. For example, 1 record already has 80x43 = 3440 datafields which each need to hold real numbers. The way I would do it would be to hold a row of 3440 columns, but I do not know if that will be a mistake or if that would be the best way of doing it. I could store each matrix in a file, but how efficient would that be. Also, I have never created 3440 columns on a database, but it does sound awkward especially given the fact that there will only be 350 records.
