I have an app that stores evaluation scores so I have 30+ values all within a certain range, currently in the db, each of these values has it's own column: Table test id user_id motivation caring personal_characteristics creativity, ...etc. If the client decides they want to trap more characteristics, it requires changes to the table structure and the table quickly gets large with 30+ columns. I was thinking of just compacting all of these down to one column and then using serialize/unserialize and storing an array of the test scores....is this the best way??
