I see little benefit to this solution, having everything in one table is not necessarily a good thing.
There are a few drawbacks to this solution... - Relying on two fields in order to establish an association - Lack of flexibility. What happens when you decide that Blog comments need to have additional fields? - Poor normalization - Possibly meaningless fields for certain records (i.e. blog_comment_vote) for Image comment (which does not require any votes) On Sep 6, 5:43 am, luigi7up <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hola everyone, > > while developing application something crossed my mind.
