I’m building a system that has a user table and a project table. I’m trying to determine the most efficient way to connect users to a project.
I’m was thinking about a table that records the relationship, but I wasn’t sure if a serialized list in one field would work just as well.
A join table (e.g.
UserJoinProject) would be my preference and would be well normalized. Assuming you have an ID column as a primary key for projects and for users.Serializing the list will make it difficult for mysql to do any kind of operation on that data.
