I am trying to:
avoid redundancy of types in tables link every type with additional information (eg: type descripton...)
Does anyone know if there's a way to substitute the type column with a type_id column, that would link to a types table ?
So i guess my only solution if i want to sort by type is to create an index on a varchar column... I am not an expert at databases, but do you know if this would be considered bad practice?
