dbtable

I am trying to add a HTML multi-column table to a Zend_Form. The table would be populated by data from the database and each row should be preceded by a checkbox, as shown in the ASCII below: +-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+ | | Column_1 | Column_2 | Column_3 | +-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+ | [x] | Row #1 | Some data | more data | +-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+--------------+ | [x] | Row #2 | Some data | more data | +-----+-------------------------+-----------------------+-------------

If we have to store the available positions at a company (i.e. Manager, Team Lead, ... etc). What are the best practices for storing it? I have two opinions with comments... "sure, welcoming yours" Storing it as DB table with columns ID and Name, and deal with it using queries and joins. Storing it as Enum and forget about the DB table. In my opinion, I will choose the first solution if I have changing items. So that I won't hard code these options as Enum. I may choose the Enum solution, if I have no doubt that data won't change (for example, Gender: Male, Female). NOTE: I code in English,
