One option is to create a table with a column representing each attribute; this is suitable for entity with a fixed number of attributes, where all or most attributes have values for a most objects. However, in our case we would end up with records where **majority of columns would be empty**, because attributes may be unknown or inapplicable. To solve the above problem you can apply the EAV (Entity, Attribute, Value) model. - Have a loose schema that is likely to change over time. Table holding attributes describing an entity is not limited to a specific number of columns, meaning that it doesn't require a schema redesign every time new attribute needs to be introduced. The number of attributes can grow vertically as the database evolves, without the need for structure changes. Limitation of EAV ----------------- [](#limitation-of-eav) - In EAV model the entity data is more fragmented and so selecting an entire entity record requires multiple table joins.
