Hi - I’m working on my first Pepper, which is basically an enhanced version of the Searches pane from Default. For my prototype I’ve added a couple columns to the visit table, but I’m wondering if instead I should be using a separate table.

If I did use a separate table, I’d be storing a lot of the same data and doing the same processing of the referrer, plus it would be an additional database insert.

Is it standard practice to just extend the visit table? If so, is there a naming convention for my columns so it doesn’t interfere with other Peppers?

Thanks! Scott
