how to make a good MySQL Database Table Structure from this XML-Code?

<xml>
<product>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Test 1</name>
    <description>
        <weight>120t</weight>
        <height>20cm</height>
    </description>
</product>
<product>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Test 1</name>
    <description>
        <length>100m</length>
        <strength>99%</strength>
    </description>
</product>    </xml>

How to solve the description entries?
I’m not able to know how many and which description information is given total.

In my opinion:

Table products: id, name

Table description: id, pid (ProductID), label, value

What do you think about this? Or what would be best?

Thanks for help.
TIA,

    Your structure looks good, personally I would drop the ‘id’ field of the ‘description’ table and rather use ‘ProductId’ + ‘label’ as the (now compound) primary key. But that’s just me and it limits your table to only have unique labels for each product.
