GeneralAdding custom attributes to tables Pin

It came up again today how to handle allowing users to add custom fields to the standard entity schemas delivered in your product's database. I favour actually providing a function that gives the user limited DDL functions, so they can actually add a new, custom field to a table. Another approach is to have a separate table for custom fields, e.g. Customers, and CustomersEx, where only CustomersEx can change, but here updates become trickier than normal. The last and most badass option that we discussed was providing a EAV table, where rows are entity name, field name, field value.

Which approach is best?
