Hi,
I have a situation where my client will be uploading CSV files.
The first column defines various 'questons', and the subsequent rows define different peoples answers.
There are about 100 rows (questions), and the number of columns (answers) keeps growing.
Instead of creating a database table with all the rows matching the CSV file, I was thinking of having a table with 'question, answer, name'
name is the name of the person - which is the first question.
So
name: jon , Stu , Bob
age: 31, 20, 56
nationality: uk, nz, usa
height: 5ft, 6ft,2ft
becomes a serious of rows
question: answer: name
age: 31, jon
nationality: uk, jon
height: 5ft, jon
age: 20, Stu
nationality: nz, Stu
height: 6ft, Stu
age: 56, Bob
nationality: usa, Bob
height: 2ft, Bob
I would easily be able to search through this, and if the client adds more questions (rows) to the CSV file they just get loaded in.
However, I'm not really sure where to start... Anyone have any ideas?
