Key Value Pair Data Model

Submitted by manasn on Sun, 2012-08-12 16:58

I have just joined an in flight project and find the lead data modeler has created a name value pair data model.

The reason given was flexibility of data model considering some records can have as many as 900 attributes. The .Net application team seem to be loving it, as they can code everything with very few tables in mind.

I feel the model is difficult to query, difficult to load and difficult to syndicate and in all likelyhood will suffer from poor performance.

The other day, I was asked how to move a table from one schema to another. The answer, as we all know, is "you can't do that: you have to create a new table as a copy of the old one, or use export/import. It will take a long long time." Not true.
