database - mysql - add columns to a table or create new table and join -


i have following setup:

a table n columns contain let's say... pizza details. there 4 kind of pizzas @ point until pizzas had same details, each detail saved in column.

but new kind of pizza called super pizza appeared, has 2 more types of details needs saved.

there 2 ways (that can think about):

  1. add columns existing table, , leave them blank/null/whatever rest of 4 pizzas types

  2. create new table 3 columns (idpizza, newdetail1 , newdetail2), save pizza rest of pizzas, , when data join 2 tables

first option has disadvantage keep useless data pizzas except new type (80% of table @ average pizzas distribution).

second option has disadvantage each time new kind of pizza need make join. db kind of "messy"... having part of pizza element stored in table , other part in another.

i know matter of taste how think should proceed? incline bit first option second opinion welcomed.

as note: there lots of entries in tables (like tens of thousands).

second note (based on answer): can't refactor "pizza" table, add it.

i suggested use first option. because 2nd option reserve more resources 1st option , take more time process.

as disadvantages of 1st option have mentioned quite obvious,but when need more column add new existing table.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...

c++ - qgraphicsview horizontal scrolling always has a vertical delta -

Image
i've subclassed qgraphicsview custom canvas used in cad application. i've reimplemented qgraphicsview::wheelevent check keyboard modifiers control key and, if control key pressed, zoom. i'm trying implement horizontal scroll when user holds shift , uses wheel. the problem i'm having horizontal scrolling always scrolls 0.279. not huge problem, hugely annoying , points else being wrong. so, here questions: is right way implement horizontal scrolling? if not, is? how eliminate delta of 0.279? thanks in advance. code , sample output below void myview::zoom(int delta) { double factor = pow(1.2, delta/abs(delta)); this->scale(factor, factor); } void myview::scrollhorizontal(int level) { qpointf center = maptoscene(viewport()->rect().center()); qdebug() << "center: " << center.x() << ", " << center.y(); centeron(qpointf(center.x() - level, center.y())); } void myview::wheelevent(qwheeleve...
