dynamic searchable fields, best practice?
- by boblu
I have a Lexicon model, and I want user to be able to create dynamic feature to every lexicon.
And I have a complicate search interface that let user search on every single feature (including the dynamic ones) belonged to Lexicon model.
I could have used a serialized text field to save all the dynamic information if they are not for searching.
In case I want to let user search on all fields, I have created a DynamicField Model to hold all dynamically created features.
But imagine I have 1,000,000,000 lexicon, and if one create a dynamic feature for every lexicon, this will result creating 1,000,000,000 rows in DynamicField model.
So the sql search function will become quite inefficient while a lot of dynamic features created.
Is there a better solution for this situation?
Which way should I take?
searching for a better db design for dynamic fields
try to tuning mysql(add cache fields, add index ...) with current db design
