Best way to store an array in MySQL database?

Question

Part of my app includes volume automation for songs.

The volume automation is described in the following format:

[[0,50],[20,62],[48,92]] 
         


        

Answer 1

I suggest you to take a look at the JSON data type. This way you can store your array in a more efficient way than text or varchar, and you can access your data directly form MySQL without having to parse the whole thing.
