difference between eav/attribute and eav/entity_attribute
looking at eav_setup file and trying to understand the difference between the eav/attribute and eav/entity_attribute table.
If I have to guess,
eav/attribute is the entity that represents the concept of attribute
eav/entity_attribute is also an attribute which additionally carries the concept of
- attribute (the actual attribute)
- entity type that I can describe (entity_type_id)
- attribute set that I belong (attribute_set_id)
- attribute group that I belong (attribute_group_id)
I'm not sure about the entity_type_id
When I create attribute in magento admin, I create the raw eav/attribute.
When I assign it to attribute set in the admin, I create the eav/entity_attribute. (but where does entity_type_id come from?)
Above statements are purely guesswork, please correct me if I'm wrong.
