[Maposmatic-dev] Re: [OSM-dev] How to support name:* in MapOSMatic?

[Greg Troxel]

  We would like to support multiple names for a given street: name:fr,
  name:ar, etc. As far as I have understood, we could configure
  osm2pgsql to create columns "name:fr", "name:ar", etc. and change our
  SQL requests to use those columns. That does not seems very scalable.

  The ideal configuration would be to have all names (name:fr, name:ar,
  ...) into a single "name" column and use it. Or have a kind of couple
  (name, country_code) that would store all different names for a
  street. But I don't know how to do this.

Not well thought out, but:

  add a name table

    id(SERIAL), name(lang), name(text)

  for each such named object, get a new SERIAL in the name table, and
  add in all of the language/value pairs

  put the id in the main database
