I personally agree. What if you're running a custom server and want to have 50 different keys to work on a door? You don't want to have 50 additional columns, especially since most doors won't need something like that (can we say wasted space?) Yes, adding columns will work, and would be a feasible, short term solution, but it's not really the "best" way to do it.

As far as human error, that's why we have tools to help with the editing process. This could be done using PHP or a standalone tool *looks at GeorgeS*. It would be similar to loot tables, spawns, tradeskills, etc.

Anyway, just my 2cp...
