Feb 19, 2014 at 11:55 comment added Colin 't Hart See slides 14 & 15 on avoiding "numbers" in column names, while the coverage on EAV starts at slide 16.
Feb 19, 2014 at 11:53 comment added Colin 't Hart Both of these structure are very bad anti-patterns, see slideshare.net/billkarwin/sql-antipatterns-strike-back where both the EAV and numbered columns anti-patterns are listed.
