Im looking for a DataType that works pretty much like a BigTable.
What i need is the ability to set rows of values for various data. My perticular scenario is that i have a member that has periods of "activity". And i need to keep history of em all.
Eg. Member 123 has two periods of activity, 1) between 2011-01-01 to 2011-12-01, and 2) 2012-01-01 to 2012-06-01.
So, I need something like: id | nodeId | data | data
Im thinking that there is (or should be) a DataType where i can build somewhat of a DataTable storing my data as a XML in ntext. In my scenario above, the datatypes aren't really important, if i can save em as text and parse them as int's and datetimes, that'd be sufficient.
I need it to be editable, so that i can add and remove entries. Preferrably both via the backend and via codebehind.
Is there any DataTypes out there that might help me?
Any pointers when building it? Is the approach above with XML the way to go, or might a third party NoSQL be a better solution?

No takers?
Hi Anders
Is this suitable ?

I have used it for opening hours of shops.

It does look exactly like the datatype im looking for.
Excellent!
I will try it out tomorrow.
