paralyzah Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 You cannot have a field containing keywords. Any database field should only hold one piece of information. Keywords are many pieces of information. Your database should have two tables and look something like this: Sites: Key, URL, Name, Info Keywords: ForeignKey, Keyword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could store all the keywords in one field. Then when pulling the keywords out of the database "explode" that field to get the individual keywords.
