alepou77 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hello everyone,I have "Posts" table in my model. "Posts" table have these columns : ID , title , image , category , description , body , author , created_date. I want to extend my "Posts" table by adding a column "tags". I want my php website to compare one post with others by "tags". Is it this option good? or I must make a different table with foreign keys and tags. Please anwser me if you can the mySQL queries and the right database Model.

Kerzo Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Your best bet is to have three tables: 'posts', 'tags' and 'post_tags'. The structure of the Posts table remains the same. Tags is comprised of tagID and tagName columns. Post_tags links the tags in the Tags table to the appropriate Post using foreign keys on ID and tagID. This means that a post can now have multiple tags connected with it, retrieving other posts with the same tags is a lot quicker and it can also be done in a single SQL statement.
