Reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity-Attribute-Value_model ,
but this doesn't look like the same problem at first glance. I'll try
to wrap my head around the concept.
Though it does seem to be an awful lot of work for this particular
task.
Thanks for the readup anyway, if it's the right solution, good, and if it's not, I'll avoid reinventing stuff in the future.
Saludos,
Adriano
