Or publicly? I for one would be interested hearing more. From
situations I've come across, EAV seems to be proposed when either
1) attributes are very numerous and values very sparse
2) people want to be able to quickly add (and remove?) attributes
My feeling is it's probably valid for 1, at least I haven't come
across anything better, but not for 2.
