[LA.pm] July Meeting?

[Mike Frager]

7/20 would be good for me also.

Vertical tables are like taking a regular SQL tables (a horizontal database)
and turning them on their side. Columns become entire rows, and rows become
groups of rows. By doing this you can change the schema on the fly.

It's likely something you may have seen before, but under a different name.
Usually worth a look though. Since I first learned about it, it has greatly
helped how I think about databases.
