Working with DBs so much, I just cringe thinking about adding columns like that.. So it's more of a preference kindof thing.

Ok I'll defer to your experience. Can you post some code how this will be read and written. I am not sure I have ever worked with a string of numbers in such a way and would like to see how it will work. Once you get a structure down I'll start helping with the various aspects of it.
