Tim,
Can you provide some examples of the attributes for the different document
types?
If I were designing something, I would look for common attributes among all
the documents to see if they can be contained within the same table. There
would be one column within that table that would indicate what type of
document it is.
The other way to go would be to create one table for each type of document.
Lets say we are talking about Word, PDF and HTML documents. You could
create one table for each type of document, and store whatever info you need
in each table.
I think we all are guessing in the dark here. We need more info from you to
be able to help you.

attribute is a specific part of an index-file, but those attributes are
different for all document types

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

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
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
