**No this is surely not what you want!!!**

Better way → using either…

a) **ARRAY-FIELDS**  
…or even better, using…  
b) **OBJECT-FIELDS**

This way you can store for each of ROW (LINE) all messages related to a USER.

You surely don’t want to create an infinite DATABASE creating infinite COLUMNS!!!

Your issue has a lot of similarity to the following…

> Yes —\> OBJECT into an ARRAY !!! CORRECT! RESULT → OBJECT-ARRAY —\> [{data:‘tt’},{data:‘ff’},{data:‘dd’},{data:‘aa’}] But the same way you can put the ARRAY again into an OBJECT, You can do this infinite. Also works vice versa. → Will depend on your data and how you want to store it inside database. As i already said, you first have to structure your database, before you start to code. Make clear → how your database will look like at the end.

At the end you also can create a second database → for MESSAGES \<— and include them in your QUERY…
