Multiple categories for items

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-20 15:20

i've seen a lot of different solutions for this and i'm wondering what /prog/ uses

when you have items in a database and each item needs to be able to belong to multiple categories, so obviously you have a column for categories, or in some cases even a table in it's own lol, but how do you encode the values of each items parent categories?

i've been leaning mostly towards serializing it but maybe there's a better way that i'm missing
