Well, it all depends. If you need to add a column later, you need to do an ALTER TABLE. In a production environment, that may be killing (do you want your website to be down for 30 minutes why you do an ALTER TABLE ?? ). Then again, if that table isn't updated a lot, you could build another version with the extra column, and do an atomic rename to put it in place. It all depends on your environment...
