Hi,
I'm now designing a portal for press articles, which is to handle about 10000 of them (for now, will be more in future) within about 50 categories. Articles are to be searched by keywords (several for an article). There are two main approaches:

  1. create a field within the article table, handling the keywords. When searching, select the articles that have the given keyword. 2)create two tables - one with id and keyword, and another with id of keyword and id of article that refers to the keyword. Which approach is faster in searching? Leeper

PS.
  The application is to be written in PHP with MySQL. Received on Mon Jul 23 2001 - 22:48:16 CEST
