What do you have as an example of an "attribute"?

Hello


I've an installation/implementation question!
We've to analyse 50 document types, in total those 50 has 70 different
attributes.
We don't want to put all those document types into one table, because more
than the half (35) of the attributes are not always used for each document
type. This will have to much disk space for each record, if most of the
fields are just blank.


Has anyone suggestions how to build our table-structure?
I've heart something about FlexFields, what are they?
Takes every field diskspace, even if it's blank (null)?


Thanks in advance for the response!


Tim
