heavyEddie Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 For a site I'm working on I need to create a tagging system. As far as I can see there is two approaches... Approach 1 would be to to have a comma delimited field associated with each record that folks place the tags when they submit. This will require parsing for every search but would keep the tables themselves pretty simple. Approach 2 would be to create a separate table and literally place and have a tag word for each record. This could create a whopper of a table, but would probably be less work and possibly faster. So, which would be faster? Any advise? Anything to watch for?

penguin0 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 What do you mean by tagging system? If you mean an easy way to identify a table row, make a new field and auto_increment it.
