in reply to storing hash data into tables for mySQL??

Yes, it's possible.

But there are numerous ways to do it, and numerous ways to structure the data tables. You probably ought to decide what it is you *want*.

First, figure out what you're going to do with the data when it's in the database (i.e., what questions are you going to ask?).

Next, design a table structure that makes your questions easy and efficient to answer. Note that you'll have to balance that with the amount and frequency of adding additional data to the tables. (Frequent large updates means you'll want to go easy on the indexes, while infrequent updates mean you can add plenty of indexes to make make it easier to ask your questions.

Then, and only then worry about the code.
