title: Storing a large array in a database
body: <p>I have a really long list of itinerary items with integer values. I was thinking about creating a database with each of these items with like fifty columns but that seemed a bit long-winded, and the itinerary may change. Is there  a better way to store these name => value pairs in a database? serializing seems a bit crude, I was thinking about just creating an itinerary_items db with name, value columns and sticking the data in there. What is the best solution?</p>
