If I'm not mistaken, you're doing Entity Attribute Value model type
storage. I.e. a database in a database. Makes for easy coding, and
danged near impossible to troubleshoot your data.

It's a religious issue but I come down on the side that good data
modelling is hard for a reason, because it pays you back so much in
the end.
