Hello Travis,

Please clearify, do you ask in what order to put the data in database?
For example, you can store question as a row, where one column - question, other columns - Ans1, Ans2 and correctAns.

Hi, thank you. So I hit add new column, title it question and the type I choose? String? I intend to later use the questions in a quiz like setting, sets of 7 questions, each timed at 25 seconds. So with 4 categories with 10 or so subjects each category. I thought to make a database for each category, adding each different subject with the create new collection option?

I understand the columns thing now except for which type to choose for the question and answers. Thank you!

String. Correct, you can add new collection for each category. Please find more here http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...
