Bedste praksis til lagring af tags i en database?

Brug en mange-til-mange-tabel til at linke et TAG optage til et IMAGE optag:

BILLEDE

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `example`.`image`;
CREATE TABLE  `example`.`image` (
  `image_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`image_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

TAG

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `example`.`tag`;
CREATE TABLE  `example`.`tag` (
 `tag_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
 `description` varchar(45) NOT NULL default '',
 PRIMARY KEY  (`tag_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

IMAGE_TAG_MAP

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `example`.`image_tag_map`;
CREATE TABLE  `example`.`image_tag_map` (
 `image_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
 `tag_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
 PRIMARY KEY  (`image_id`,`tag_id`),
 KEY `tag_fk` (`tag_id`),
 CONSTRAINT `image_fk` FOREIGN KEY (`image_id`) REFERENCES `image` (`image_id`),
 CONSTRAINT `tag_fk` FOREIGN KEY (`tag_id`) REFERENCES `tag` (`tag_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
