hardcode or DB

Recommended Posts

this is my table:

 

name

id

description

topic

year

category

 

so now i want to know - i only have around 5 categories so is it worth me have a seperate table for it?

 

this is for a website which i populate a dropdown box with the categories...

 

i just want to know as a design aspect if its better to just hardcode the categories into the html or populate them from the DB (ie making a table for them and getting them from there)?

 

thanks

I would just make another table for catagories. Its not much harder than implementing the catagories in the scripter and makes the script much much more flexible, unless you are 100% certain the catagories will never chance, even though i would still use another table in that case.
