I'm in a dilemma. I have a users table. Each user has a role: admin, manager, agent, customer.
What do you recommend about the users table? Options: 1) in the users table, add a role column, type string, and enter the role as a string. 2) in the users table, add a role_id column (integer, foreign key) that connects to a roles table. I know both ways would work, but I would like to know if one approach is better than the other and why.
