Hi All,

is there any whitepaper, document or website that can point me to how to
setup a inventory system?
I'm particulary interested how other people solve the problem of a unknown
number of attributes to a inventory item.

example:
BAL                <-- Inventory Item
        - Color      <- Attribute
        - Diameter   <- Attribute
        - Weight     <- Attribute

Car                <-- Inventory Item
        - Speed      <- Attribute
        - Size       <- Attribute
        - Weight     <- Attribute
        - Color      <- Attribute

Computer                <-- Inventory Item
        - Brand           <- Attribute
        - Weight          <- Attribute
        - Windows/Linux   <- Attribute


I can ofcource add any number of columns to a table but for a lot of items
there will be a lot of NULL values and currently I don't know how many
attrubutes one item can have (possible between 10 and 20). This can even
change in feature opon request.
